Scalpture - Feldwarts - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

SCALPTURE's second album InchEisenzeitInch (iron age) continues the path of the debut, but already shows that the band is not willing to accept stagnation - the music remains kick ass death metal, but crafted with more details in terms of melodies and crushing heaviness. When SCALPTURE came into being in the German city of Bielefeld in 2009, founding guitarist Felix Marbach already had a clear vision The musical direction was to be death metal without any compromise regarding it's roots and values, but at the same time the band aimed to evolve into a singular musical entity with a unique style very much their own right from the start. It is hardly surprising that all SCALPTURE's album titles refer to the topic of 'war' that the band has decided to adopt as their prime lyrical theme. Staying away from glorifying stereotypes, their texts are built on detailed historical research and portray the horrors that the abyss of war has caused in some of the darkest hours of humankind. Although the Germans have chosen war as their main subject, SCALPTURE embrace modern values such as tolerance, peace, and reason.

SCALPTURE's InchPanzerdoktrinInch (doctrine of tanks) is a raw gem of a debut album. It already shows the direction where the band has been going to over the course of their released albums so far - pummeling death metal with a nod to the old school, but also with a more modern approach to sound and structures.

2010 from the eccentric Scottish singer, songwriter and musician. After a two-year foray into book-writing and contemporary art, Momus returns to pop with his strongest in over a decade. This time he's focused on what he calls Inchthe catnip factorInch. Just what is it that makes US want to play a great song over and over again on YouTube? What is it about some simple chords and rhymes that really gets under our skin and penetrates deep into our memory and emotion? After avoiding pop, or asking it to do things books and art can do better, Momus suddenly found himself, in the spring of 2010, playing his favorite songs on YouTube, drawing inspiration for new songs from them, recording the songs and making videos for them during marathon InchvideosongInch sessions, then uploading the results straight up to YouTube.
