The upcoming new album will be entitled "dust" and released on Nov. 13th by Twilight Distribution! We already ended up recording 12 new tracks - the result will be a blast for your speakers!

The album will be mixed at Grindlab Studio and mastered by Andy Classen (Belphegor, Krisiun, Disbelief) in September. The Artwork will be designed by Killustration (Six Feet Under, Kataklysm, Amon Amarth). We are pretty psyched about it and can`t wait to hear/see the final product! Stay tuned!

We are also finally able to announce that our future home is now with Germany`s label Twilight-Distribution (Disparaged, Koldbrann, Eluveitie, Requiem, Grind Inc., Hatred). We needed a new record label and in the end Twilight won us over with their integrity as we already had a good cooperation with our last 2 albums.

There is a new shouter in Mastic Scum, we welcome "Maggo" in the band! We know us since years in a good frienship and are happy to work together now, he is the perfect match for Mastic Scum! "Maggo" is also active in Inzest (Deathcore), Tristwood (Industrial Metal) and Watch Me Bleed (Trash/Hardcore).

Mastic Scum had to part ways with shouter "Will" due musical differences. Harry comments: "It was a hard decision for us but the best for the band. We thought about this fact a long period of time and this change was the only right step for Mastic Scum." We wish him all the best for the future.

Check out the new demo-track "Regression" from the pre-production of our upcoming album! Mastic Scum will enter studio in march 2009 to record 12 tracks for the forthcoming CD. Some songtitles: Construcdead, Dead Remains, Regression, The Consciousness In A State Of Mind, The Sufferage, Extinction... Stay tuned!
