SCARS OF ATROPHY<\/strong>\u00a0is the new form of Tucson, USA\u2019s\u00a0Atrophy<\/em>\u00a0which has been rebranded after a lineup shuffle in 2020. Now they are gearing up to show off their new iteration with a hot new EP\u00a0\u201cNations Divide\u201d<\/strong>, a festival appearance, and the promise of a full length at the beginning of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EP was released in June and has been eaten up by thrash fans around the world. Its classic sound is reminiscent of their older material, but fresh enough to entice new listeners. While many anticipate what will be the third Atrophy album, right now they can indulge in the brutality and driving force of the stories they\u2019ve created live at Dimestock<\/strong> in Watertown, Wisconsin on August 27 alongside Exhorder. The band explains further:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are super excited and honored to play our new material at Dimestock! After hearing our intensity, the organizers put us opening for Exhorder and playing with a who\u2019s who of the future heavyweights. In the past, writing new music was a bit repressed and controlled. Now, every idea is considered and everyone is encouraged to contribute. This is heard in the tightness and focus of each song\u2019s intricacies. Climb aboard our train and thrash out to the heaviness with us. We approach with honesty and that is continually hammered out with our blasting rhythms and our painfully aware lyrics.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scars Of Atrophy<\/strong> says that seeing fans mosh or headbang at the shows is super rewarding for them and they intend to deliver a wall of energy that is honest and engaging. Those who can’t catch them live will have to rely on the EP to keep them satiated before the full-length drop next year, which will be a greater representation of their \u201cNations Divide\u201d<\/strong>. Musically, the songs are all hard-hitting with their signature tempo and riffage. Definitely an aggressive approach with the thunderous double bass of veteran thrash drummer, Tim Kelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band approached this EP as both the entertainers and the audience. They love the thrash metal genre and for them, there is nothing better than watching a huge mosh pit break out while playing on stage. They create according to what they expect at a show themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desert thrash that is harder than caliche, Scars of Atrophy<\/strong> is recommended for fans of Testament, Exodus, and Slayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
