Behold! The world’s newest and most diverse metal band has just arrived at your doorstep! Featuring an arsenal of three percussionists, SCORCH is breathing fresh life into a new realm of metal for fans everywhere. The drum section ranges from an onslaught of overlaid and accented rhythms to an all-out simultaneous wall of pulverizing percussion. Two seven-string guitarists cover the entire metal spectrum including heavy and intricate riffs, melodic solos and a few moments of clean eerie tonality. The vocals range from harsh yet understandable screams to clean yet clenching melodies. Completing the mix is a 5-string bassist which compounds the heaviness of the grooves and on occasion creates haunting harmonies with the guitars.

SCORCH possesses its own distinct sound but swears to be influenced by Pantera’s and Machine Head's grooves, Sepultura's tribal rhythms, Fear Factory's precision, Slayer’s speed/harmonies, and Cradle of Filth's tempo and arrangement changes.

Be sure not to miss SCORCH’s live show featuring a wall of 16 toms and a 6-foot lighted SCORCH sign made out of pure metal!
