Scum was a hardcore punk/black metal supergroup formed in 2002 with members from Amen, Emperor, Zyklon, and Turbonegro. All members are Norwegian except for American vocalist Casey Chaos. According to the band, their idea is to play "black metal with a real punk rock attitude".
History
Scum was formed in 2002 by Casey Chaos, Samoth, Faust, Cosmocrator and Happy-Tom. Scum's debut album, Gospels for the Sick, was recorded in one single studio session in 2004 and released in September 2005. The band has performed live a handful of times, including an appearance at the Norwegian Øyafestivalen in 2005 and a performance at Camden Underworld in London. The band had guest appearances from several artists, one of which was Mortiis, who co-wrote and performed on the song "Speaking in Tongues", released in 2021.
Scum did not release a follow up second album or reactivate as a band, and in December 2024 lead singer Casey Chaos died, effectively ending any chance of the band ever reuniting and releasing new material.
