SCOUR, the extreme metal collective featuring an impressive lineup of heavy music veterans, including 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), will release its long awaited full-length album, “Gold”, on February 21, 2025 via Housecore Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe.

Musically, SCOUR fuses the raw aggression of black metal with grindcore, punk, and thrash influences, manifesting a sound that honors extreme metal’s roots while pushing it into modern territory. Their minimalist approach is relentless and brutal, perfectly embodying this vision.

In advance of the release of “Gold”, today the band unveils first single, “Infusorium”, and its accompanying video, filmed and edited by Malcolm Pugh.

Derek Engemann comments: “SCOUR is storming back onto the scene with our new single, ‘Infusorium’, a relentless blend of intricate guitar work and raw, unforgiving intensity. This track raises the bar, with more intricate guitar work, and featuring a searing solo by Mark Kloeppel, undoubtedly some of his finest work that cuts straight to the core. Inspired by Jon Padgett’s haunting short novel ‘Infusorium’, the lyrics channel the story’s eerie depth and darkness, bringing a literary edge to the metal mayhem. As the lead single and first music video from our upcoming full-length album, ‘Gold’, ‘Infusorium’ proves the SCOUR is fiercer and more dynamic. The SCOUR boys are back, more ripping than ever!”

Ahead of the release of their album “Gold,” the band has released the official video for the first single, “Infusorium.” You can watch the video and listen to the song, right below:
