Mastic Scum was founded in 1992 - inspired from the metal/hardcore scene of the early `90 s. We are a four man combo, making noise in the classic way - drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Our sound can be described as Grindrock - "Melvins" meets "Napalm Death". Our lyrics reflect the daily shit that happens on our world - in our sarcastic way. We draw our inspirations from the mankind - about the human scum.
Till now we played a lot of shows in countries like Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, the Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovenija, Croatia as well as in Turkey. We also did some small tours like the "Infection Tour" 1996 in the Czech Republic, the "Döner Tour" 1996 in Istanbul, the "Hang Over Tour" 1997 in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany and the "Fuck The Commerce Tour" 2000 in Germany.
The CD "zero" was rereleased on "Demonware Rec." from Austria in october 2001. It was released as "Enhanced CD" edition including 4 bonustracks + 1 live video. The recordings were remastered at "Wild One Studios" (Vienna) in july 2001. The video was recorded at the "Fuck The Commerce III" Festival (Germany) in spring 2000. This CD features 21 songs of fresh, grooving Grindcore - our heaviest and most punishing record to date.
At the time we are grinding away some new scum for you. We entered the "Boom Room" Studios (Austria) in november 2001 to record our next full length CD. It will be the progression of our latest cd "zero". New album to be released in spring 2002.
