Five years have passed since this Finnish trio excreted their All Veins Blazing<\/em> debut album, which emerged four years after the self-titled demo. Now, with another half a decade gone, Scumripper brings a sophomore outing riddled with snappy vocal retorts and a gnarly death-thrash assault.<\/p>\n

The cover art most certainly catches the eye as Rat Pitt (vocals and guitar), Cliff Hunger (bass) and Son Stalker (drums) unleash a barrage of toxic tumult that borders a sound that nods heavily towards the demo days of bands like Possessed and Death, but with extra scoops of brashness. The vocals are demented gasps which exist within crazed networks of occasionally black metal tinged fury.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Am The Trash Of Evil Men\u2019 is a joyous chaos of evil crossover chaos barking towards old Slayer<\/a> as serrated riffs merge with savage percussion. This is some truly blistering and barbaric metal; \u2018The Slime\u2019 leaks in via a mid-tempo jagged riff before that classic and extremely familiar thrash scurry comes to the fore. These guys, in spite of all the obvious influences, have tapped into that nostalgic charm, yet they remain sincere in their homage by blasting the listener with so many enjoyable tirades.<\/p>\n

The twisted doom riff that opens \u2018Knights Of Summer\u2019 is a joy, as is the immense riffage which introduces the gargantuan \u2018I Cum Pain\u2019. The vocals are ghastly, dehydrated yawns of horror, the drums acting as trudging, lethargic chimes that slog in tandem with the harrowing bass plod.<\/p>\n

\u2018Weather The Swarm\u2019 scurries in like a blackened version of The Damned mixed with hideous slaps of early Voivod and Repulsion, while \u2018Crippling Void\u2019, \u2018For A Few Fixes More\u2019 and \u2018Exhume The Body And Disturb The Peace\u2019 spew further blackened punk rants from the sweaty basement. Scumripper smokes. Join the riot.<\/p>\n
