Forgotten masterpiece remastered! Melodic Finnish Death Metal’s crown jewel. First time on vinyl! Overshadowed for far too long, “Purple Dreams & Magic Poems” is one of Finnish melodic Death Metal’s hidden gems. While many of their contemporaries moved towards cleaner, more commercial territory, Scum refined a sound of their own. Heavy, deliberate riffs meet soaring melodies, dark atmosphere and subtle progressive touches, creating an album that feels just as powerful today as it did upon its original release. Driven by the unmistakable growls of P.T. Askola and a collection of consistently strong songs, “Purple Dreams & Magic Poems” balances weight, melody and emotion without sacrificing its Death Metal roots. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this long overdue CD and LP reissue finally brings an overlooked classic back into circulation. Tracklist: 1. Dance of White Demons 2. Circus of Freaks 3. Narcotic Dreams 4. In the Crest of Northern Wave 5. Flames of the Silver Sea 6. White Dragon 7. Conception 8. Oriental Fantasy 9. Valley of Dark Dreams
