Led by
Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, Scar the Martyr was announced in April 2013 and
quickly caught up the attention the band consists of musicians who have played
for a long time featuring Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon and
ex-Darkest Hour guitarist Kris Norris, later in June the group announced its
full lineup which includes Nine Inch Nails former keyboardist Chris Vienna as
well. The unknown vocalist Henry Derek Bonner completed the full lineup, Scar
the Martyr offers and interesting mix between Industrial/Alternative Metal, Joey
Jordison as many of you know is one of the most talented musicians out there,
musician, songwriter and producer. Surprisingly Jordison is behind the drumkit.
Musically Scar the Martyr sounds well performed each musician contributes an
undeniable part of talent and they create a deep atmosphere the music is top
notch but does this mean they are going to be at the same level of others
contemporary acts? I think this is a nice try but even if you are part of one
the biggest Nu Metal bands in history is not a guarantee of success. There are
great songs such as “Dark Ages” and “Blood Lost” these ones really put you in
the mood for a head banging, in certain songs specifically behind the drumkit
the band sounds like Slipknot even it looks like some of these songs would have
been taken from an unreleased material of the 9 masked. I recommend this album either
if you’re a fan of the side projects or a Joey Jordison fan, the album is good
but I’m not sure if it’s going to get the same success or hit those heights than
Slipknot or Stone Sour, I remember “Murderdolls” another side project by Joey
Jordison now defunct, the attitude and that Horror-Punk-Style really gave a lot
of variety and originality among others super groups at that time.
Comandado
por Joey Jordison baterista de Slipknot, Scar The Martyr se anuncio en abril 2013
y rapidamente capot la atencion, la banda consiste de musicos experimentados que
han tocado por mucho tiempo colaborando el guitarrista de Strapping Young Lad –
Jed Simon y el Ex Darkest Hour Kris Norris, mas tarde en junio el grupo anuncio
su alineación completa la cual incluye al ex Nine Inch Nails Chris Vienna en
los teclados. El desconocido vocalista Henry Derek Bonner completo la alineación.
Scar The Martyr ofrece una interesante mezcla entre Industrial/Alternative
Metal, Joe Jordison como muchos de ustedes saben es uno de los mas talentosos músicos,
compositor y productor sorprendente Jordison esta detrás de la batería nuevamente.
Musicalmente Scar The Martyr suena bien, cada músico contribuye una innegable parte
de talento y crean uan profunda atmosfera, la música es de primer nivel pero
significa esto que estarán al mismo nivel que otros grupos actuales? Pienso que
es un buen intento pero incluso si tu eres parte de una de las bandas mas
grandes del Nu Metal en la historia esto
no es garantía de éxito. Hay grandes canciones como “Dark Ages” y “Blood Lost”
estas realmente te provocan el headbangeo, en ciertas canciones específicamente
en la batería la banda suena como Slipknot incluso paraece como si algunas de
ellas hubieran sido tomados de algún material inédito de los 9 enmascarados.
Recomiendo este álbum si eres un fan de los proyectos alternos o de Joey
Jordison, el álbum es bueno pero no estoy seguro si obtendrá el mismo éxito o
aires de grandeza de Slipknot o Stone Sour. Recuerdo “Murderdolls” otro
proyecto alterno de Joey Jordison ahora desaparecido, la actitud y su estilo
Horror-Punk le dieron un chorro de variedad y originalidad dentro de otros super-grupos
en ese tiempo.
