Scorched Earth - "Mars" Review‏

Full-length, Novisible Scars December 21st, 2009
Scorched Earth is a great thrashing death metal band from up in Seattle.
They have been making their brand of chaotic yet catchy death noise since 1995, and have been putting out albums since 2000. I'm a big fan of these fuckers and this album didn't disappoint.

"Mars" is their 4th full length album and it continues the legacy of simplistic yet great metal of death!
They are similar to Gravehill in that they have basic parts and riffs to songs (maybe call us the AC/DC and Motorhead of death metal?) When a band is good, they are good. It really doesn't matter how many riffs are in a song, or if there are just 2 drum beats in a song. Scorched Earth are one of these bands that can ride a riff for a while and smash and thrash it until it is dead as fuck. And one other thing about Scorched Earth is that they have TONS of killer riffs going on. Each song out-does each other with riff after riff of killer metal. The tempo of the songs are usually 3 speeds: either mid paced banger, fast beat banger, or blast beat banger.
These guys mix the death metal, thrash and black metal perfectly on here as usual. Terry's death howl is in fine effect on here as well. You will just want bang your fucking head off when you hear this album!
Any fan of killer old school style death/thrash/black will love this band. Get your friends over, get a ton of beer and whiskey, put this fucker on 11, and let the massacre begin!

The songs are as follows: Warlords Of Mars, The Gods Themselves, Devils In Iron, No Blade Of Grass, Hell On Mars, Spearhead From Space, The Knights Of The Black Cross vs. The Reavers Of The Red Death, Out Of The Violent Planet, The Dead Of Winter.

Hails to Scorched Earth for yet again delivering the goods of great metal madness!!!! This was put out by Novisible Scars.
