the Everything
Genre: Heavy Metal
Excelsior Mali Formidi
However you want to tag this band they certainly hold epic and
symphonic encounters that on some occasions such as this track that steers it
away from the traditional heavy metal style, but it has the ability to intrigue
and makes you want to explore the bands other realms.
Three new members practicing to join Evil Scarecrow
Rise
This track visits its roots and forges ahead with an energetic prowl
of blackened symphonic metal that strides into the limelight with a hypnotic
melodic core and brazen guitars that creates plenty of noise!
Space Dementia
This track takes a journey into the unknown with its space
theme. The torrential keyboard notes
flow freely and give it an ‘airy’ feel, while the guitars drag the composition
into a ‘black hole’ allowing the listener to explore further.
Creative
Galacticus
This track is rather melodic, even tempered and amenable, despite
the symphonic avenues that create a creepy feel to the proceedings. It is a
predatory track that adds a three dimensional layer into its fold.
Crabulon
The underlying heavy tones are urgent and fierce with the chanting
of ‘Crabulon’ added to its endeavours. Sung in a harsh growling vocal it
impressively keeps on giving with equal amounts of relentlessness which when
sung live has audiences scuttling around sideways in crab-like mode or so I am
led to believe!
FranKingstein’s Mirror
The evil sounds converge on the aural while a magnitude of rhythms
and notes blend into one powerfully urgent and delirious track. It doesn’t move
away from its comfort zone but what it does offer is a certain unbridled
passion that lures you its muscular stride.
Book of Doom
With a manic approach and a crazed vocal, of course you can still
feel the ‘tongue in cheek’ eccentricity of the band through its commotion and
confrontation, but there is a serious edge that is darker and moves within a
great force field.
Dance of the Cyclops
This one definitely hosts a rather schizophrenic attitude as the
rhythms pound into devilish turmoil that is instantly appealing. Its hypnotic
effects twist and turn into an absolute ‘funny farm’ while still being plausible
to be under a heavy metal tag.

“Evil
Scarecrow have well and truly planted the seeds that have given them the room
to grow and the chance to blossom!”
------------------------------------------------
End Level Boss
Highly flirtatious and wild it begins, the fragments of metal soar
above some bristling symphonic keys that tread the boards amid some perplexing
sounds – it is a great tirade of madness no matter which way you look at it.
Flight of the Dragons
This one has eerie tones steeped in creepiness made prominent from
sharp strings and harmonic chants. The heavy gruff tones once again show a
darker side and with rapturous drumming the composition turns into a maelstrom of
tumultuousness.
When Moses goes wrong
The hair literally stands up on your arms when listening to this and
there is also an uneasy feeling that creates sharp stabs down the backbone. The
music draws you into its contaminated venture and pulsates with a chilling
rampancy.
Enter the Nightmare
The sultry strings flow seamlessly along with high powered beats
that lie behind some crazed gravelled vocals. It gains momentum in an instant
and unravels into a feverish reward of sheer and unadulterated luxury.
Summary:
Behind the ‘tongue in cheek’ moments, and the fact Evil Sarecrow could be deemed a joke
band, there are in fact five serious musicians who have endeavoured to compose
highly inspiring tracks and have accomplished their goal on this delicious 12
track album.
It holds its seductive side really well and is equally passionate
delivering a blistered edge and darker moments entwined within its unusual
muscular structure.
Evil Scarecrow have
well and truly planted the seeds that have given them the room to grow and the chance
to blossom.
There is plenty on the album for you to acquire that self-indulgent
moment where you can just close your eyes and visit another dimension without
leaving the comfort of your armchair.
There are obvious black metal traits to be heard throughout the
passages and subsequently throughout the whole album, but nobody is complaining
because of the infectious appetite the album possesses and of course it has its
silly moments that allows for the listener to enjoy a light reprieve before
tensing up to the aggressive side the band has.
So all in all, and everything considered Evil Scarecrow (surprisingly British) tick all the boxes for me,
holding gnarly low toned vocals and rich, melodic keyboards, throw in a bit of ‘happy
fun’ and of course some energetic metal and that’s me well and truly satisfied.
After all what’s metal without a sense of humour?
