Skumstrike - 'Deadly Intrusions' - Out April 8

[ResidentOfBok]

Formed in the icy depths of Montreal in the winter of 2017, Skumstrike seek an unholy union between the raging punk of that city and the glowing-red aggression of ancient thrash and first-wave BM.

Formed by LA (Profane Order) on strings and ZS (Serpent Corpse, Xanadoo) on vocals/ceaseless battery, the band's debut album 'DEADLY INTRUSIONS' follows 2020's 'EXECUTION VOID' EP, and features artwork by renowned Indonesian artist Ibay Arifin. Combining rapid-fire thrash with the heft of early Celtic Frost and moon-worshipping abandon of Darkthrone, a crackling vein of high-voltage hardcore punk runs through the record, perfectly portrayed with a reckless cover of Poison Idea's 'Nothing is Final', while the wild spirit of Japanese acts ranging from Sabbat to GISM animate the unhinged vocals.


'DEADLY INTRUSIONS' delivers ten rapid stabs to the throat on April 8.

1. Caustic Poison
2. Blood Red Vision
3. (Ensnared In) Endless Night
4. Panic Obsession
5. Another Shot of Fear

6. Ritual Murder
7. Mental Wound Submission
8. Lobotomize
9. The Infestor
10. Deadly Intrusions
11. Nothing is Final (Poison Idea cover)

CD version to be handled by Selfmadegod.
Cassette version to be handled by Caligari Records.

Links ain't working big dawg.

[ResidentOfBok]

Thanks, fixed now.

[Eoin McLove]

I like the filthy vocals and the riffs sound cool to me.  Not into that d-beat style drumming though.  Kind of kills it a bit for me,  but all the best with it.  Good to see you back making music.

[Born of Fire]

Enjoyed the hell out of that, savage stuff!!

[Doctor Crippen]

Like it a lot

[ResidentOfBok]

Cheers lads, and likewise to yourself Andy re: Bacterium!

Plan is to get this out and then concentrate on a full-length towards the end of the year.

Savage. Celtic Frost on meth.

[TurnTheAirBlue]

Excellent, spot on with the Celtic Frost ref. Also, that riff at 2 minutes is vintage Slayer!
Good luck with it, I'll definitely grab a copy.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Deadly stuff, fair play Bok-bok. Can only echo what Matt said above. I turned straight to Hellhammer after listening to the measly one-fuckin' track ye have available!

[Kurt Cocaine]

That's a right kick in da bollix. Love it!

[O Drighes]

Pretty cool tune. I totally agree with the CF and Slayer references there, vocal placement also reminds me of early Darkthrone bar the tone.

I quite like the cover too.

[Necr0rceN]

Toxic Holocaust approved - love it
