Beneath the Scars is the new face of Horror Metal!Crashing in to the Metal/ Death Metal/ Hardcore scene in early 2004 the “boys in blood” have since undergone many changes to become the aural atrocity that they are today. Born out of the ashes of the Erie/ Meadville area band Tattered, drummer, “Dickler”, lead guitarist, “Engraver”, and bassist “Kazper” started BTS as a four piece playing mostly Slayer and Sepultura Covers with the addition of rhythm guitarist, BDLS. In late 2005 the band picked up vocalist “Jayden” from the collapse of his first band, Left for Dead. Early 2006 brought in Spider in the Hall's Main man, “Splitter”, on keyboards. Sadly, it was around this time that BDLS left the band for personal reasons.It was at this point, as a five piece that Beneath the Scars not only came together as a band, but through that bond developed their own unique and distinguished style as well. The insanity of the sound is fueled by the love, passion, and dedication each of them have for the music that influenced them and songs that they write and it is backed by bone crushing rhythms, melodic keyboards, high energy breakdowns, mind blowing leads, and demonic growls that lead the listener into their own dark little sanctuary where artist and listener become one within the creation. The Horror Metal theme is followed tightly with eerie keyboards, chilling intros and outros, and keen vocals centered around the wonders of the macabre. To fully captivate, awe, and scare those who see BTS for the first time the band takes stage in a sea of fog dressed alike and drenched in blood with enough energy to destroy the bounds of traditional Heavy Metal.Late 2006 brought the end of Kazper's tenure as he departed for secondary education. This brought in Brian Eddy Himself on Guitar, and Tiny on bass. Due to personal and musical differences these two did not stay long and were solidly replaced by bassist Nacho from the local West Erie band, Crowfeather and Mike Larrison, formerly from Self Inflicted. But Mike's tour with BTS was short-lived, and he moved on to pursue other interests. At this point the band took a slow down and started working on new material and recording their full length album. It was short lived, however, as original bassist, Kazper, returned with a wicked rhythm guitar sound and a close friend of the band, “OX”, stepped in on bass to bring the band back full circle. Now they are creating the best music of their careers while fine tuning and adding to the old fan favorites, which has led them to earn a massive amount of respect wherever they play. Whether you like Beneath the Scars or you hate them, one thing is certain: After being witness to the unique grooving sound, themed and detailed appearance, and high energy live shows, they are not easily forgotten!May the devastation ensue…
