Phil Anselmo will not stop until he has formed a supergroup with every musician in the metal world. Anselmo has been teasing a new project as of late called Scour. MetalSucks reports the band also features some heavy hitters in the underground metal scene including John Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Fulgora), Derek Engemann (Cattle Decapitation), Chase Fraser (ex-Animosity, Decrepit Birth), and Jesse Schobel (Strong Intention, Cast the Stone). That's a fuckin' lineup!
As for how the band came together, Anselmo told Hellbound.ca:
“[T]he Scour thing was something that just popped up, and it’s something that I think I can kill, something I can lay it out. They’re short songs. It’s a short EP, and that’s something I can knock out, I guess, after the Danzigs tour. And yes, I said Danzigs, and that’s a long story.”
Anselmo continued:
“I think (there’s) one of the fellows from Cattle Decapitation, but it’s predominantly, in my ear, modern-ish black metal-sounding, thrashy black metal type stuff. I’m going to put my own spin on it. I don’t have to sound like your boy from Gorgoroth (laughter) to get the point across, man. There’s other ways of singing over that style of music, and I shall employ many styles.”
The project has launched a Facebook page but there is no music just yet. We are really excited to hear what they have in store for us, but it looks like Anselmo is busy for the immediate future as he has a tour booked with his other supergroup, Superjoint Ritual, on the road with Danzig. Dates here.
