“Scar” is Mastic
Scum’s second studio album, and this disc should split some
heads. The bands that popped into my head when I started listening
to this album were Napalm Death, Katakylsm, and Entombed. They are
definitely similar to those bands, full of energy and hatred. Death
and grind seems to come easy to Mastic Scum, there are lots of decent
tracks on this CD. The production is nice, and the band keeps the
music pretty tight as well. These guys have lots of potential. All
the tracks had their good parts like lots of catchy riffs and buzz
saw sounding guitars, but their wasn’t any track that really
stood out. There a quite a few tracks that I think are worth mentioning.
“Face To Face,” “Distance To The Truth,” “The
Daily Grind,” “One-Track Minded,” and “Liar”
should get some people to impale their friends or at least give them
a good bludgeoning. Mastic scum has so much energy in their music
that their shows have to be crazy; they must get the pit going. This
albums hits like a punch to the face. If you need something to wake
you up in the morning, these guys could do it! Rating: 78 |
