Soldiers Of Scrape | Support The Troops!

June 11, 2008 by Scott

As I mentioned in the Tyranny And Bloodshred Tour post, Soldiers Of Scrape opened before Firewind. If you have never heard of S.O.S., then let begin by asking this: Do you like Pantera? Do you like Lamb Of God? Do you like Slayer? And lastly, do you like ass kickin’ heavy F**kin’ Metal? If you said yes to any of those, especially the last one, then you will dig the Soldiers Of Scrape!

Soldiers Of Scrape are from the motor city, and if you don’t know what the motor city is then pull your head out of your anal cavity and google it. Originally known as Bowl Scraper, they have just released Operation: Shifting Gears a couple of months ago. With influences from obvious Old School metal bands, S.O.S. brings a true metal sound. Sure their sound is nothing really new to the scene, but it is awesome. Mick Stone kind of sounds like a mix of Randy Blythe and Phil Anselmo, Wayne Crouton is a great bassplayer and did a hell of a job dealing with a slight setback with his bass strings during the show. Andy Falk is a great drummer, but I don’t think I can quite compare him to Vinnie Paul. Lastly, Face Hall obviously has been influenced by both Dimebag Darrell and Kerry King.

Singing songs of Drinking, tributes to Old School metal and the lives of our lost metal heroes, A tribute to Kerry King (KFKR), and Metal unity, Soldiers Of Scrape were my favorite band of the night. They closed their set with Pantera’s Domination which transitioned into the chorus of Hollow. I love it when I find new favorites in lesser known bands. I’m sure if you mentioned the name in Detroit or the surrounding areas, you would get a “Hell Yeah!” from just about any one of their home town Metalheads.

Support the troops of The Soldiers Of Scrape, spread the word and fly the bird!
