SCARRED BY TRUTH
Blind My Eyes EP
Blind My Eyes EP
Title track ‘Blind My Eyes’ opens the EP starting slow, setting the scene of someone in difficulty before crashing in with the bold chorus of “I hate you, you hate me”, words we’ve all said not just to other people in times of anguish or difficulty, but to ourselves. Especially when we are feeling self-hatred, anxiety, depression of fighting our inner demons.
‘Scarred’ shows the bands fire and passion for music. A song about control and manipulation be it at home, at work or through a higher authority, that often leads to isolation and in turn pain and sadness.
‘The Plight’ was specifically written about homelessness
and the problems that people in that terrible situation suffer and face - poverty; hunger; physical and mental health and the stigma society places upon it; isolation and even abuse.
‘666’ is about the demonisation of those in society who keep the wheels turning, those classed as unskilled and too often undervalued or discriminated against by the higher echelons of the social ladder.
‘The End is Nigh’ is about personal growth. Everyone makes mistakes and you can come back from them better and stronger for it. Just don’t let things defeat you. It may feel like the end of the world… but the end of the world has already happened multiple times and will again (on a personal level), so don’t let it stop you. ‘The End is Nigh’ is a collaboration with instrumentalist Fractured Planet.
Press and Media comments
Here’s what the media are saying about Scarred By Truth
“This is a fistful of awesome… every one of these tracks is strong enough to stand as a single. These are the songs you can hear other bands covering.”
Ian David, Motormouth Metal Radio Show
“Scarred By Truth are the band and ‘The Plight’ is the skull-crushing, maniacal mouthpiece for the homeless.”
Azra Pathen, Original Rock
“There is a doomy undercurrent in new song 'The Plight' whilst dizzying leads dance all over the place. The thunderous rhythm section powers the track on. Echo drenched vocals add an intriguing and beguiling sense of mystique which gives the track a rightfully evil tone.”
The Razors Edge
"In 'Blind my Eyes', Scarred by Truth have crafted a classy
melting pot of a metal album. From the menacing grooves of the emotive mid paced 'The Plight' to the steamrolling 'The end is Nigh' with all its thrash ferocity there really is something for all heavier tastes. 'Scarred' ups the ante in the heavy stakes yet remains an addictive listen. The modern metal groove, techy influences coming to the fore as indeed does the nod to the catchy, anthemic rock bands that is of course timeless.”
Robbie Magguire, Thrash metal Album of the fortnight Club
"The most interesting thing about Scarred By Truth is their determination to push the lyrics to the forefront of their music while retaining enough air-guitar moments to keep the metalheads on board. If you want a dose of technical thrash... Scarred By Truth have the potential to reach the big stage with their positive social message and grade A rock credentials. Now somebody give them a recording budget and
watch them take the prog metal world by storm."
JVB, Scream Blast Repeat
