Scalping - Void

Anyone who has been lucky enough to see Scalping live over the last few years may have an idea of what to expect from their debut album Void. A sensory assault from start to finish, at their live shows the quartet batter the audience into submission with their thrilling, unique techno-rock.

Yet while it’s true to surmise that the album represents them well, it also demonstrates that there is much more to the Bristolians than meets the ear. The harsh aesthetics remain on the likes of gnarly, ear-splintering ‘Caller Unknown’, a piece of science-fiction heavy metal and the second track (following the disconcerting, tense opener ‘Blood Club’ which hints at what is to come via Isaac Jones’ cacophonic drums).
