Scour release visualizer for ‘Coin’ (with guest solo by Gary Holt) and “Gold” full-length out today

“Gold”, the long-awaited debut full-length from Scour, is out today on Housecore Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe!

SCOUR is the extreme metal collective boasting the all-star lineup of Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down), Derek Engemann (Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals), John Jarvis (Nest, Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Mark Kloeppel (Misery Index), and Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Misery Index, Lock Up).

Deepening the experience set forth on their previously released EP trilogy, Scour’s “Gold” pulls the listener through a blistering vortex of speed, aggression, and, above all, absolute horror. Drawing from a deep framework of literary horror masterworks, “Gold” guides the listener beyond the realm of death and through the metaphysical anomalies of a dishevelled and decaying mind.

Forged in 2015, Scour quickly made their mark with the blistering debut single “Dispatched.” Their first release, “The Grey” EP (2016), came via Anselmo’s own Housecore Records, followed by “The Red” EP in 2017. In 2020, Scour unleashed their most aggressive effort yet, “The Black” EP, released under Housecore and Nuclear Blast Records and featuring guest appearances from notable figures like Erik Rutan, Pat O’Brien, and actor Jason Momoa.

Scour elevates their intensity with “Gold”, which includes a guest solo by Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus). Recording for “Gold” began in February 2023 at Nodferatu’s Lair — Philip Anselmo’s personal studio and rehearsal space — which saw the band highly engaged in a concentrated effort toward a truly diabolical composition, with Anselmo leading the charge at every turn. One would often find the entire band in the control room in ecstatic debate, meticulously mulling over every blast beat and divebomb. The album was intermittently refined, and lyrical concepts finalized, over the course of 2023 as touring schedules would allow.

Anselmo began vocal recordings in the Fall of 2023 at The Lair. Backup vocal recordings were then executed by the rest of the band in arena backstage rooms over the course of Pantera’s February 2024 tour, where the full band would also thoroughly review the instrumentation mixes. Once the tracks were finalized by Scour and mixing engineer Dennis Israel, they were then passed to Fascination Street Studio in Örebro, Sweden for mastering by Jens Bogren.

“Gold”, which features cover art by Cain Gillis, is available on CD, LP, limited edition cassette (US only), and digital formats.
