Scalp - Black Tar LP

With Black Tar, Southern California extreme hardcore outfit Scalp unleash a devastating record that pushes aggression, speed and heaviness to limits. The band combine raw powerviolence, grindcore and metallic hardcore into a sound that feels both suffocating and explosive.

Scalp's approach is direct and uncompromising. Short bursts of chaos collide with breakdowns, dissonant guitars and punishing rhythms, creating songs that hit with immediate force. Rather than following conventional structures, the band embrace unpredictability, allowing the music to shift rapidly between blistering speed and crushing heaviness. The title Black Tar perfectly reflects the album's atmosphere. Dense, dark and oppressive, the record surrounds the listener with layers of distortion, abrasive textures and relentless energy. Every track feels physically intense.

While rooted in hardcore, Scalp also draw inspiration from extreme metal and grindcore, resulting in a sound that appeals equally to fans of hardcore punk, death metal and noise-infused heavy music. Their ability to balance chaos with groove gives the album a powerful momentum that translates perfectly into a live setting.

Black Tar is more than just an exercise in aggression. Beneath the violence lies a focused and deliberate approach to songwriting, where every riff, breakdown and blast of noise serves the album's overwhelming impact. For fans of powerviolence, grindcore, metallic hardcore and extreme music without compromises.
