*Released on 29/4/22* Bristol techno, noise and hardcore supremos Scalping release their highly anticipated debut album Void. Scalping are heavy metal in 4D; the sound is moody, di storted and rhythmic, but the use of electronic techniques gives the finer details room to breathe, making more space for experimentation. Tracks such as "Tether", featuring Oakland rapper DÆMON, puts a modern, metal twist on Bristolian trip-hop, whereas album closer "Remain in Statis" features fast-rising artist Grove, a Bristol-based rapper and self-professed metalhead whose commanding presence sets the track alight. In the heat and darkness, it's a swarm of low-end frequencies and ripping guitars, somewhere between Black Sabbath-esque psychedelica and The Bug's sub-bass headfuckery. Live, the effect is immense. Scalping play continuously for the duration of their sets, generating a storm of metal-and-techno through a rising beats-per-minute count. Show more
