NEWS: A Scar For The Wicked assist a priest?

Canadian Deathcore dealing Necrocult A Scar For The Wicked are preparing to unveil debut album “Acolythus” on 7th November and have shared a music video for the title track. Mixed, mastered co-produced and co-engineered by Christian Donaldson (Suffocation, Osiah, Shadow Of Intent) it will appear six long years after their 2018 EP “The Unholy” with the six piece made up of musicians who are also members of Beyond the Extraction, Harmoniaq and Harvested to name but a few.

The band comments on the first single “Acolythus“:“‘Acolythus’ serves as the main theme song and self-titled track of the album. It delves into the sin of blasphemy, focusing on the sixth circle of hell. The song portrays a dark, twisted depiction of a cult devoted to the dark lord, presenting an inverted version of Christ through rituals of blood and sacrilege. The cult’s worship is depicted as a perverse inversion of holy rites, emphasizing their eternal damnation and the blasphemous nature of their devotion. They are forever the servants.

‘Acolythus’ stands out as the catchiest song on the album, with a blend of memorable and engaging elements. From melodic riffs and technical Solos, heavy down-picked riffs drive the song, providing a powerful and intense foundation. Not one single riffs in this track is being repeated twice. The track concludes with a heavy breakdown that intensifies the experience, followed by a final solo that provides a dramatic and satisfying finish. This track combines all the elements of what A Scar For the Wicked is all about.”
