Norwegian all-star band Scum is currently recording a new album at Crystal Canyon Studio in Norway which is owned by Euroboy of Turbonegro. The line-up sounds very promising - not only does it feature Samoth (Zyklon, ex-Emperor), Faust (ex-Emperor), Casey Chaos (Amen), Cosmocrator (Mindgrinder) and Happy Tom Seltzer (Turbonegro), but fellow ex-Emperor member Mortiis also contributes lyrics. That's practically a "Nightside Eclipse"-era reunion! Anyhow, the music is said to rooted in the tradition of 'True Norwegian Black Metal' blended with 'punk rock attitude' and 'aggressive hooks'. There's no label or release date confirmed yet, but some of the song titles are "Gospels for the Sick", "The Truth Will Be Sold" and "Hate the Sane". Read more: http://www.scumband.com/
