2007 marks the 20th Anniversary of the release of the Napalm Death legendary debut album Scum.

To mark the birth of grindcore and the landmark release of one of the most confrontational records ever released, Earache Records is issuing a special 20th Anniversary Edition Dual Disc of 'Scum' containing the original album and a DVD documentary highlighting the early days of the band and examining the story behind the album and its explosive impact on the wider music scene. Original member Mick Harris talks in depth about the scene at the time, the band's origins and takes a tour to the old band haunts along the way.

The documentary also features an interview with Mark Titchner, the Turner Prize nominee, amongst others, who explains the aesthetic angles to Napalm Death's revolutionary noise.

When Scum was first released in 1987 DJ John Peel was one of the first to pick up on the band's mix of hardcore punk, metal riffs and blistering speed. Redefining what it was to be a heavy band, Napalm Death soon shot to fame on the back of NME cover stories, BBC2 documentaries and the polarised opinion of the larger music community.

Scum has since become an acknowledged influence on every extreme metal band since the late 80's.

See a trailer for the documentary on the Earache MySpace page here.

"Scum 20th Anniversary Edition Dual Disc" will be released on March 19th through Earache Records.
