so i make it no secret that i am a huge Razorback Records fan, i love every band on their label and in my honest, humble opinion, they are the best overall metal label around, period...they consistently release quality death metal and manage to only sign bands that kick ass...i think they are more about quality rather than quantity and for that, i am glad...too many labels release pure shit just because they think that it will sell, and for the most part they're probably right, because your average consumer these days is either braindead, or brainwashed into following all of the new trends no matter how pathetic or lame they might be...hell, with the right marketing campaign, you could sell ice to eskimos, but at the end of the day, what have you really accomplished? well, i'll tell you what Razorback Records has accomplished...they have managed to release nothing but badass music for the past ten years and this brand new debut full length cd by Scaremaker is keeping with the tradition of awesomeness...so when i heard that the man behind my favorite label, Billy Nocera, had started his own death metal band, i was very intrigued to hear what this horror obsessed metalhead that has brought me some of the greatest cds that i own, would wind up putting on his very own bands cd...the result is nothing short of killer! (which i expected), as this death metal trio tear through 13 tracks of "demonic and violent riffs, murderous lyrical summonings, and ghastly vocals that leave you unhinged!" this is a good album of old school death metal but the real star of this record is Billy's wife, Vanessa Nocera...she does guitar, and bass, and vocals on this cd, she wrote all the music and about 70% of the lyrics...im like damn, this chick is fucking talented! Billy, you got yourself quite a catch here, you lucky bastard...the lyrics on this record are about a variety of terrifying topics, including "malicious deformed children who kill, undead immortals who suck blood from the living, backwoods maniacs fulfilling their mother's hunger for gore, agonizing witch burnings, traumatic transmutations, old books dripping with fetid ink, horrendous skinnings, malevolent vampires and offerings of forgotten horrors!" so if any of that sounds like something you'd wanna hear, then check this shit out now...and for a limited time if you order this cd from Razorback Records, it comes with an authentic Scaremaker toetag! how many other labels give you cool shit like this when you order?...these guys know what i like, and i like it
im such a big fan that i bought the Scaremaker demo tape the moment it was released...it was limited to 200 copies but don't worry, the 3 songs on this cassette are also on the full length cd and sound way better, thanks to a great mixing and mastering job by Patrick Bruss of Crypticus...so go ahead and grab the album and prepare yourself for a hellish ride of unspeakable horrors and neverending nightmares
