SCALPEL To Release Debut Album In September
August 23, 2013, 10 years ago
On September 3rd, Sevared Records will release Sorrow And Skin from Boston death metal force SCALPEL.
A press release describes the band: “Death metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. Scalpel has no other purpose than to deliver a version of this art to those same fans whose lives have been claimed by the likes of SUFFOCATION, CARCASS, and DEATH. It is in this vein that Scalpel constructs its own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and with an eagerness to explore the darker realms of music. The band is rooted firmly in the old school aesthetic, vigilant to revive the gnarly riffage and macabre lyrical content of so many vicious death metal acts. Scalpel creates its own art to be maddening and precise, to fulfill the connotations of its name.”
Sorrow And Skin tracklisting:
‘Ripe’

‘The Woodsman’
‘The Black Juices’
