Starting in Sao Paulo Brazil in 1991 Scars
created a metal band that is aggressive and full of energy. Thrash is the
main vein for this band, Old school eighties style. Death metal probably
found its way onto “The Nether Hell” as well. It would appear
that they have some Maiden influences too. Thrashy riffs decorate this EP
like the brain matter on the walls after an apparent shotgun suicide. Very
much like Slayer, Old Metallica, Exodus, Kreator, and Overkill. These speed-driven
thrash riffs shred! They also have an evil dark presence, which works great
for this metal band. Solos are pretty good to boot. Yelling vocals, some
with a grimace are used as a mainstay on the album. The grimace is kind
of like Jon Tardy (Obituary), but the main body of the vocals is kind of
like Tom Araya (Slayer), David Brockie a.k.a. Oderus Urungus (GWAR), and
Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth (Overkill). Six tracks keep your attention
for nearly thirty minutes. This is a pissed off record! Slayer fans need
to apply!
