Press:
“Scar Culture’s “Inscribe” is nothing short of murderous. Producer Billy Milano of S.O.D. fame called the band “Fucking brutal”; concise, simple, and very true. Vocalist Pheroze Karai’s precise, articulate delivery is of the hardcore vein, while his refined, gutteral vocal quality is of the death metal vein. Fans of Brutal Truth will know what I’m talking about. …”Inscribe” is nothing short of a modern metal masterpiece.” – Smathers, Uranium Music
“Indeed, the group’s sound is just as diverse as its band members’ ancestry. A scalding mix of grind, death, and hardcore, Scar Culture’s breakneck metal is corrosive and all-encompassing. With frontman Pheroze Karai growling like a malnourished rottweiler over speed-of-light guitars and a charging-rhino rhythm section, this band is all business.” – Jason Bracelin, Cleveland Scene
“‘Inscribe’ is punishing from the outset as singer Pheroze lets loose some truly mind-blowing screams of aggression.” – Adrian Bromley, Unrestrained Magazine
“Inscribe is a musically complex affair that is full of sharp twists and turns without ever letting up in the intensity stakes, featuring an incredibly tight delivery that is usually reserved for far more established and experienced outfits.” – Borivoj Krgin, Blabbermouth
“an extreme metal library. On Inscribe, [Pheroze] Karai’s vocals land somewhere between death metal growls and hardcore shouts, while the rest of the band seamlessly combines grinding blast beats, chunky breakdowns, and prog-metal tendencies.” – Revolver Magazine
