Released in 1987, Scum is Napalm Death’s explosive debut and a landmark in grindcore history. Split into two sessions with different lineups, the album delivers a raw, blistering fusion of hardcore punk and extreme metal. With breakneck speed, politically charged lyrics, and genre-defining brevity—most famously the 1.3-second track “You Suffer”—Scum helped ignite a global underground movement and remains a brutal benchmark for extreme music.
