Devil’s Trident is a formidable new supergroup consisting of Scum, the founder of Lyrikal Snuff Productionz, alongside Los Angeles horrorcore pioneer Insane Poetry and Albuquerque-based artist Smallz One. With a shared history spanning projects like M.M.M.F.D. and S.O.S., the trio’s eponymous debut arrives with perfect timing, coinciding with the LSP roster’s performance at the 26th annual Gathering of the Juggalos and the 19th annual Bloodymania pay-per-view event.

The album opens with “Hard Check,” a synth-driven boom-bap track that sets a defiant tone, followed by the G-funk-infused “Bend the Knee,” which demands the respect the collective has earned over their storied careers. Tracks like “Real Nice” lean heavily into the group’s signature “Snuff” aesthetic, delivering aggressive, bloodcurdling lyricism, while “Buried” reinforces their commitment to their core fanbase and the Team Snuff identity.

As the project progresses, the rap-rock influence on “We Are” highlights the members’ shared identity as sinners, leading into the apocalyptic themes of “Omnicide.” The album continues to evolve with the trap-influenced “Bad Seed” and the title track, which masterfully blends horrorcore sensibilities with a classic G-funk sound. The final stretch, featuring “Fresh Meat” and “It Could Be You,” showcases the trio’s technical prowess as they accelerate their flows over modern, synth-heavy production. The album concludes with “Killing Spree 2026,” a sequel to their previous collaboration on Butcher Brothaz that serves as a fitting, full-circle moment for the group.

Given their history, including their introduction on M.M.M.F.D.’s Horrorcore album, this debut is a natural evolution for the Gore Hop imprint. It arrives at a pivotal moment, perfectly timed with the group’s high-profile appearances in the wrestling and music circuits.

Score: 7/10
