Holy Scum. The name itself is a visceral snarl, perfectly capturing the raw, feedback-laden sludge and improvisational rock that the band unleashes. Since their debut, Holy Scum has made waves at major festivals like Le Guess Who? and Roadburn, cementing their place in the music scene.
Originally hailing from Manchester, Holy Scum features guitarist Peter J Taylor (formerly of Action Beat), GNOD co-founder Chris Haslam on bass, Jon Perry (also of GNOD and Shuck) on
drums, and Mike Mare, one half of the legendary hip-hop duo Dälek, on vocals, synth, and soundscapes. The band has recently welcomed a new guitarist, Al Wilson (GNOD, Ghold, Shuck), adding fresh energy to their lineup. Together, they create a thunderous cacophony of synapse-mangling noise that cuts through the chaos.
Looking ahead, Holy Scum is gearing up to release their eagerly awaited second album, All We Have Is Never, on Rocket Recordings in 2025. This album, recorded over seven days in the remote wilderness of Scotland, promises to build on the raw power and collaborative spirit of their debut, delivering a monumental noise rock experience.
Holy Scum embodies the power of collaboration, a primal scream in response to a world in disarray. They confront chaos head-on, meeting fire with fire in their live shows.
