Blazing a trail through the inferno, fists death-locked on the throttle, Montreal’s SKUMSTRIKE strike back with their second full-length, Flawless Intrigue from Hell. Inspired by grand traditions of backstabbing and deceit, Flawless Intrigue from Hell combines a lethal dose of speed metal with the gunpowder roar of thrash and death metal. Crosscontaminating the wild fury of Japan’s Sabbat with the abandon of early Slayer and Bathory, the Canadian power-trio deliver a raw and relentless affair over ten tracks that establishes their pole position in the relentless race to speed metal hell. If their Deadly Intrusions debut in 2022 came roaring out of the gates, then Flawless Intrigue from Hell fucking obliterates those gates!
Featuring redline ragers as well as slower, deeply poisonous dirges, Flawless Intrigue from Hell was recorded by Spectral Wound mastermind Patrick McDowell in the aftermath of SKUMSTRIKE’s first European tour, and represents their first dangerous meeting with German powerhaus DYING VICTIMS. The album is crowned by an unhinged cover of Abigail’s “Satanik Metal Fucking Hell,” with possessed, skeletal artwork courtesy of Chris Kiesling of Misanthropic-Art (artist for Mortuary Drape, Hooded Menace, Grave Infestation). Fueled up and ready for violence, this latest effort from these northern raiders is sure to elevate SKUMSTRIKE to the top of the poser-killing pack!
