‘SHE-WOLF OF LONDON’ OUT TODAY WITH VIDEO, FEAT. WILLIAM VON GHOULD FROM CREEPER
THE DEBUT SOLO ALBUM OF APOCALYPTIC POST-PUNK FROM BEASTMILK AND GRAVE PLEASURES MASTERMIND, MAT MCNERNEY
Following the release of their debut single last month, Scorpion Milk are back today with their new offering ‘She-Wolf Of London’. It’s the second single to be taken from the upcoming debut album Slime Of The Times, out 19th September on Peaceville. The new single features William Von Ghould from British horror punkers Creeper and arrives with a brand-new video edited by Mat McNerney.
“I am a fan of Will’s voice and work with Creeper. ‘She Wolf of London’ needed that
gothic swagger and a touch of Albion grime that Von Ghould expertly purveys. This song is a twisted love letter to the cursed bloodlines of British horror, the haunted streets of my youth, and lycanthropic seduction.” – Mat McNerney

Scorpion Milk is the new project from Mat McNerney; the founding creator of Beastmilk’s highly-revered ‘Climax’ album and the subsequent three Grave Pleasures albums. Infused with elements of Beastmilk’s original DNA, debut album ‘Slime of the Times’ marks the most direct, raw, and explosive evolution of his self-defined genre: Apocalyptic Post-Punk. An eclectic artist in his own right, McNerney’s roots are also firmly in the black metal underground of Finland and Norway, and continues to work in that genre (having formerly featured as vocalist for Dødheimsgard, among others), plus is also currently active with his band, Hexvessel.

Joining Mat on ‘Slime of the Times’ is a whole host of cross-scene collaborators, featuring Tor Sjödén (Viagra Boys) on drums, Nate Newton (Converge, Cave In) on bass guitar, as well as special guest appearances from Killing Joke’s Big Paul Ferguson, plus Will Gould of Creeper offering lead vocals on the track ‘She Wolf of London’.
‘Slime of the Times’ was produced by McNerney himself & recorded at Pine Hill Studio in Finland, with mixing carried out by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse, London. Mastering was conducted at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Furthermore, the album features striking artwork by Danu Bharatu, known for his visceral, expressionist work with Uniform, Wolfbrigade, and Portrayal of Guilt — reinforcing the project’s abrasive, end-of-days aesthetic and crossover visual appeal.
Scorpion Milk’s debut album Slime Of The Times will be released on Peaceville on 19th September on limited transparent red vinyl LP, classic black vinyl LP, CD and digitally. Pre-order here.
