ACT II

Fluke is a vicious indictment of the global Catholic Church and its secretive history of greed and manipulation. Five tracks of blackened, grinding metal performed at breakneck pace provide a platform for a scathing attack, spat and screamed forth in Scald's inimitable and immediately identifiable style. The EP finishes with a 25 minute, sprawling ambient noise composition that uses captured and processed audio from the fluke sessions and an Italian spoken-word monologue.
The mini-album has a running time in the region of 40 minutes and is issued in a specially designed 6-panel digifolder with extensive artwork by Unhinged Art. The Eucharist Edition, containing unique Scald communion wafers, is available and limited to 500 copies. One year after the release of their critically acclaimed Vermiculatus album (8.5/10 - Terrorizer Magazine) on cult Italian label Code666, Scald revisit their crust/grind roots with their new mini-album Fluke.

What some of the critics are saying:
"if you close your eyes you can virtually smell the censer burning here"
Pete Woods/ Metal Team UK
"Scald is a band worth keeping an eye on, even though the widely branched clerical apparatus would probably rather draw a veil over this group and pretend they never even existed."
8/10 - Nanhold/Gothtronic.com
"hugely impressive grind that genuflects to the scene's forefathers but also does its own bold things. The result is nothing short of superb."
Gerald Robinson/ Vampire-Magazine.com
"Scald hold their rotten and sandpapered sound, but this time they look back to their punk and hardcore roots (cfr "Cocoon" and specially "Trematoid") and even thrash to add a furious, direct and inflammable attitude to the tracks."
4/5 - Fabrizio Garau/ AudioDrome.it (translated from Italian)
"While the grind genre is getting increasingly and alarmingly saturated with non-descript bands imitating their inspirations, it's good to see acts such as Scald who give the genre its own unique spin."
8/10 - Wouter/ Masterful-Magazine.com
"Reinvigorating is hardly the word: this is as heavy, brutal and charismatic as it comes... Buy or Die"
4.8/5 - Ciarán Tracey/ MetalIreland.com
