Scour are an American extreme metal supergroup formed in 2015, blending black metal ferocity with grindcore, death metal, and thrash influences. Featuring vocalist Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down) alongside members of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Misery Index, and Pig Destroyer, Scour deliver punishing, high‑intensity music marked by relentless aggression and dark, chaotic energy.
Drawing on the varied extreme metal backgrounds of its members, Scour fuse raw riffs, blasting rhythms, and guttural vocals to create a sound that honors black metal’s roots while pushing into modern, brutal territory. Their work reflects both homage to traditional extreme metal and a contemporary force to be reckoned with.
Scour’s music thrives on speed, chaotic rhythms, and abrasive textures. Harsh guitar work, rapid percussion, and powerful vocal delivery articulate themes of violence, darkness, and nihilism. Their sonic identity reflects a commitment to raw extreme music with a relentless edge.
This combination of black metal ferocity and cross‑genre extremity appeals to listeners who value brutal intensity, establishing Scour as an impactful presence in the global underground metal scene.
