Thanks lads, and Crow for posting it! Full thing is out next month on CD, tape, and digital.

Toxic Holocaust approved - love it 

Cheers! Did they actually say something about it?

Blood Red Vision from their forthcoming album 'Deadly Intrusions'.

That's very good. Really primal and ugly. I can hear the HH/CF and Slayer references, but there's also a bit of Vomitor in the mix. Nice work, Lorcan.

Edit. I like the inclusion of the word 'deadly' but you could have upped the Dublin influence even more by referring to yourselves as Rapid Metal

Haha, well I kept up the Irish references in the promo pics. Has there been a metal promo shot with a hurley yet? There is now.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Haha, that's class man!

The shtickín is called a hurl north of the River Suir big lad:)

Haha, class.

It's not a hurley...
It's an ancient Irish weapon.   

Didn't zhOra take to the Bloodstock stage puckin' a sliotar across the stage, a few years back?

Fantastic!

Put me down for a t-shirt, I mean ... jersey!

Another track from the album streaming on Decibel now - https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2022/03/29/track-premiere-skumstrike-caustic-poison/

Ordering from Ireland or anywhere in Europe? The pre-order from Selfmadegod makes the most sense - https://selfmadegod.bandcamp.com/album/deadly-intrusions

Had a spin off a promo of the album the last week.
Class stuff! Will definitely be picking up a copy.

Would love the tape, but the postage is twice the price of the tape itself.   
So CD it is!

Just noticed there's a new album on the way with Dying Victims Productions.
"Deadly intrusions" a few years back was a banger, so looking forward to this.

That's feckin deadly. Love the vocals. Catchy ass riffs too.

[ResidentOfBok]

Well spotted! Its been a few years, and we do indeed have a new album out via Dying Victims!

I'd say this one is more purely speed metal than the previous record. We've been listening to a lot of early Kreator, Slayer, first few Bathory etc, but there's still some DM and crust in the mix. Theres also an Abigail cover that we got mangled and all did vocals for.

Listen to it in full here:

Plz consider a download if it tickles your ballix - https://skumstrike.bandcamp.com/album/flawless-intrigue-from-hell

Or for Irish based listeners, order directly from Dying Victims -

Digging the shit out of this working away in the kitchen right now  I was shouting out Critical Defiance and jobrok pointed me to this in return - class!

I've literally been exclaiming away to myself at various parts that have tickled my fancy

Will have to be ordering these 2 for sure
