SCOUR, the extreme metal collective featuring heavy music veterans, including Philip H. Anselmo (PANTERA, DOWN), Derek Engemann (PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS), John Jarvis (NEST, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED), Mark Kloeppel (MISERY INDEX) and Adam Jarvis (PIG DESTROYER, MISERY INDEX, LOCK UP), has released a music video for its latest single, “Blades”. The track is taken from SCOUR‘s full-length album, “Gold”, which will arrive on February 21, 2025 via Housecore Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe.

Watch “Blades” below.

The video for “Blades”, which was shot by Malcolm Pugh, includes footage from Anselmo‘s annual Housecore Home Haunt 2024 as well as SCOUR‘s most recent live show at Southport Hall in New Orleans.

Engemann comments: “SCOUR comes in hot with our second offering from the ‘Gold’ LP, ‘Blades’ — a fierce, ripping, ‘unholy grilling of spirits!’

“From the very beginning of the ‘Gold’ writing sessions, ‘Blades’ stood out with its unrelenting, grinding riffage — a natural choice for track 2, keeping the album’s blistering energy alive.

“The accompanying music video amplifies the intensity, filmed at none other than Philip Anselmo‘s private home Haunt. Shot during the Halloween season, the grotesque and gothic atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for this ‘tower of gore.’ The video is topped off with spliced footage from our recent live show at the Southport Hall in New Orleans. Filmed and directed by the talented Malcolm Pugh‘Blades’ is a blood-soaked anthem that demands to be blasted at maximum volume.”
