About scarsofsuffering
Formed in August of 2005, in the bowels of southern Kentucky. The bands history as brief as it is at the moment starts with the desire to create a band that can withstand time. The music that was conceived, picked up where Takers last band had left off. The rest of the line up fell into place shortly thereafter with Clint on drums, Benji on guitar, Proffitt on vocals and Sloth on bass, securing what is now known as SCARS OF SUFFERING. With the induction of each member the sound of the band evolved. The initial songs were still heavily influenced by what Taker had been doing, but the band is becoming a well oiled machine and the music grows more fierce, darker and heavier with every member adding to the input of every new song. Every member of the band have various musical backgrounds and some are from bands of yesterday, but all have one thing in common, HATE. Hate, aggression, anger, disappointment, violence are all things that fuel this band. We'll take you through a gauntlet of pain, with furious blasting, brutal grinding and disharmonic melodies. When asked to describe ourselves we can only say we ride on the shoulders of our forefathers in this genre. We consider ourselves to be a giant fuck you to all the other forms of popular music and the trends that come and go. We refuse to fall into the emo, screamo shit, that is third generation rip offs of what hardcore is. We all agree its great that death metal is getting some well deserved notoriety in the main stream now, but that has no affect on us. It could become unpopular again tomorrow and we would still be playing the music that comes most natural to us. We have tried to take the aspects of death, grind & black metal also with some ambient and other ideas that appeal the most to us and turn out music that would make you want nothing more than to beat someone to the sounds of our chaos and rage. Life and what happens in the world around us reflect what we are about, our song topics are the truth, no sugar coated fantasies. The band is often known to incite violent pits with songs like Shepard of Rot & Omnipotent Brutality and feed from the sheer aggression our fans offer as a sacrifice in the name of metal. We are not trying to re-invent death metal, just represent it well. So many bands offer no hooks or substance to their music. We hope that we have achieved creating memorable songs that will beat you into submission over and over again. Coming from an area where this music is beyond taboo, we stand alone. We will continue to push ourselves to create heavier, more brutal and even more unforgettable songs. This band was founded by people who live metal, and have every intention of doing as long as they can. This is all we know and who we are. If you dont know us yet you will. Let our hate, be our gift to you!

HAIL THE UNDERGROUND!
