Official press release:
Los Angeles-based extreme metal label Gore House Productions confirms the February release of Rotten, the scorching debut album by Scottish outfit Scumpulse. An official video for the album’s “Alba Gu Bràth”, directed by Piotr Bajor, has been premiered through Metal Injection as the label issues pre-orders for Rotten.
Founded in 2013, Edinburgh-based Scumpulse follows a previously-released EP and single with one of the most anticipated albums to hail from the Gore House compound. Their debut album, Rotten, delivers eight punishing tracks of perfectly blended crusty, blackened metallic grindcore. Eight tracks align into a savage, thirty-eight-minute assault, bridging influences from Darkthrone and Impaled Nazarene to Carcass and Exhumed. Rotten was recorded between Black Cave Recordings, Chamber Studios, and s9fifty, and mixed/mastered by Andrew Rankine, and completed with artwork by Kasper “Sandullos” Povlsen. Be forewarned, Rotten is a debut you do not want to miss.
Rotten will see release through Gore House Productions on CD and digital formats on February 23rd; pre-orders are now available HERE. Watch for additional audio samples and more to be issued ahead of the record’s release.
