Massive Scar Era [Most Metal?]

Reviews — 14 July 2010

Massive Scar Era is a hardcore Egyptian metal band with talent that should never be overlooked… by anyone! After they’ve been entered into Headbang Today’s Most Metal Underground Band competition, this is the review they’ve gotten themselves into!

Whenever the metal world hears of band with a female vocalist, a point often gets made that the band is either made or broken purely because of the vocalist.  Massive Scar Era fortunately supports a female vocalist with impressive vocal potential. This chick can sing, for sure… but how does her screaming compare to the likes of Kitty’s Morgan Lander? Close… if not identical.

A better comparison would be a female version of Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta! Their “Tribute” song is a rather fine example of that.

Their music touches melodies and instruments which gives us an ancient Egyptian feeling… Whether it is Massive Scar Era’s intention or not, the coincidences are simply too hard to ignore. These guys do a fine job at sticking to the integral part of modern and ancient Egyptian culture… musically.

Their guitar solos are pretty rad but the diversity in musical instruments sometimes leaves you feeling that it might be a bit too much. If they had to stick to their metal guns (which would be purely drums, bass, guitars and vocals) this band will definitely without any doubt go far.

It would be a close call if this band had to face Varden in the battle for Egypt’s Most Metal Underground crown and a moment we here at Headbang Today hope to experience.

Bring on the beer, bring on the gigs, bring on Massive Scar Era!

HEADBANG TODAY’S RATING: 8/10 METAL HORNS!

FINAL SCORE: 9/10

Scream

Instigator of the Headbang Army. Scream's potty mouthed behaviorism often and undeniably gets overlooked thanks to his prodigal taste in heavy metal. A Screamgazm is something Scream only experiences when epic screams and deep growls are present.
