Delivering a guitar-driven onslaught of intricate melodies and intense rhythms laced with lashing of distortion, Skatepunk is the upcoming offering from SCARLATAMUSIC. The new EP will be released on January 20th, 2023, and follows the debut full-length Power Through that released back in April 2022.
Skatepunk’s opener “HyperActive” brings energetic beats with high-speed rhythms and compelling leads. Harmonised leads venturing into oriental scales introduce an intriguing aspect to the track before diving back into speed-metal performance styles. Moving into more traditional metal influences, “Mind Reader” brings melodic guitars and thrashing percussion in to showcase another side to SCARLATAMUSIC’s sound. High-speed rhythms and thunderous percussion sees soaring leads weave throughout the sound as it progresses. The trio of songs concludes with the title track. A wall of fuzz-fuled distortion explodes with a huge impact. “Skatepunk” makes it’s presence known venturing down the noisier route with SCARLATAMUSIC’s chosen guitar tones. Dynamically the instrumentation ebbs and flows conveying a range of moods.
