ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1987
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

Grindcore ground zero at its filthiest. Nearly 40 years on, few heavy classics remain as elementally atomizing as Napalm Deaths blast-obliterated debut LP, Scum. While comprising vastly different line-ups on each side of the record snare-exploding founding skinsman Mick Harris is the only constant Scum set the ground rules for one of the U.K.s most prolific and beloved extreme outfits. Featuring 3-second juggernaut You Suffer, the record instilled that Napalms beats would be blindingly fast, the fuzz would be corrosive, and the lyrics would foment with political fury. Sporting future members of Godflesh, Cathedral and more, its likewise an early peek at some other greatness to come.
