Biography
Scar the Surface are a five piece melodic metal band hailing from Melbourne, Australia intent on delivering good times and good tunes to fans of the heavy side of music the world over.
Having shared stages with the best Australian metal has to offer, the band have forged and cemented their own name within the playing fields of Australia bringing forth their energetic and party-inducing stage show across the country numerous times in support of singles ‘The Art of Defeat’ and ‘Your Delusion, My Hatred’.
Is it metal? Is it hardcore? Is it progressive? Who gives a fuck!
Label this band with whatever tag comes to mind, I’m sure you will find they don’t care. “We write and play music that we are fans of ourselves”, explains bassist Elliot Williams “If we’re writing something that we aren’t sold on, it’s scrapped and we move onto the next. There are five of us, so sometimes its slim pickings, but we aren’t a band to write and play stuff for the applause of any trends. That’s not being arrogant, that’s just who we are as a band and as people, and I think our approach to that aspect of making music has made us the band we are today. If people like it, then that’s awesome, and if not then that’s too bad.”
2009 saw the band get busy in the studio recording their debut EP ‘Take Your Fight To The Sun’, a title which they believed best describes the lengths they are prepared to go to always take that next step even after being a band for five years, and a title that also best describes the vibe given the subject matter. You will just have to listen for yourself to understand that last part.
