The sixth album of the Deathers MASTIC SCUM, titled “Icon”, has been in the stores since October 7th last year. No reason for the busy Austrians to scratch their bellies. To the album opener “Digital Dementia”, the quartet has now released an solid video clip on the MDD YouTube channel, which is ready to roll over the viewer not only musically but also visually, like a steamroller.
The new Death steel roller was recorded in Vienna’s Grindlab Studio, produced, mixed and mastered in Metalforge Studio under the care of Mike Kronstorfer.
MASTIC SCUM are undoubtedly one of Austria’s best-known metal exports. Since the early 90s, the band has been ravaging the international Metal scene, delivering brute and technically high-quality Death anthems that couldn’t sound more crushing. Striking guitar riffs, merciless drums and massive grooves define the band’s sound.
Even though the last album was released a few years ago, the band has not been idle in the meantime and has released various (split) EPs and tapes and has graced the stages of Europe time and again. With “Icon”, the band now presents their sixth longplayer, which comes up with the typical band trademarks and aims exactly where it hurts: on the face!
Furthermore, the band announces to play several festival and club stages in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic from April onwards to promote their latest masterpiece live.
