Scraper (Germany)


Scraper (Germany)
CD."Hunger Within"

Marl, Germany gave birth to the thrashers of Scraper, a band with a very brutal staging and a fairly defined and matured sound, they totally know what they want to convey with their sound and the proposal is quite polished and accomplished, due to many passages in their songs. Sometimes they combine death metal with thrash and make an exquisite amalgamation of styles for the metal ear. Let us remember that this band has been active since 2016 and we are struck by the fact that they work independently, which is something very admirable within the metal scene of record distribution, which is a truly hard world for those who decide to self-produce. I already gave you an introduction to the sound of the band that presents us with its only album "Hunger Within" that presents us with ten songs of a very well made metal, strolling through the most frenetic thrash, as well as certain experiments with denser and slower sounds but that give a great atmosphere to this great album. Markus and Tobias on the strings caught my attention with excellent solos and riffs very well done. Ralf in the almost perfect percussion and giving enormous power to the sound that he seeks to deliver.Carsten, who is in charge of vocals, has an impeccable performance from start to finish on the album. With closed eyes I recommend this great material very well achieved.
