| Band biography |
S.C.A.L.P. recorded the first demo tape in August 1994. It was called "Madness Cannibalism" and according to the style of music it was a mixture of heavy death metal and grind core. But there were some melodic insertions which became so typical of S.C.A.L.P. Then it recorded mini demo "C.I.A", consisting of two "Madness Cannibalism” b-sides and cover versions of NAPALM DEATH’s "Scum" and BAD RELIGION’s "The American Jesus". “C.I.A.” was some kind of summarizing. The initial idea of “garage” record was not conceived, as a demo tape.
In 1995 the group recorded a demo tape “Memory” (melodic death/doom metal). The work was more serious and intelligent, which was recorded specially as demo. The song “What For?“ in 1996 was released on MC “Thrash Your Mother” vol.4. (compilation of young metal bands) The first serious studio work was made in the beginning of 1997 in V.P. Studio (Smolensk) by record of an album “Through Eternity”. In the same year "Through Eternity" was issued in the format of ?? by the Rest In Peace Productions (Russia), and in 1998 was released in Czechia on CD, by Czech label Leviathan Records.
CD "Through Eternity" was recorded by the following musicians:
Evgeny Ryzhenok - bass / vocal,
Pavel Peristiy - guitar,
Alexey Kuznetsov - drums,
Alexey Orehov - keys.
The music of this album represents a mixture of various styles of modern heavy music. There are elements of death/doom metal, and elements of hard'n'heavy. The style of the music submitted on "Through Eternity" can be characterized as melodious dark/gothic metal. The debut disk has received good reviews in many Russian and foreign magazines.
In autumn 1998 S.C.A.L.P. took part in a large festival “BALTIC THUNDER" in Minsk.
In the summer 1999 the group recorded the second studio album “Tears And Blood”. During the work Evgeny Ryzhenok left the group and music. S.C.A.L.P. remained without the bassist, and, that it is even worse without the vocalist. This period in a history of the group is marked by a constant change of bass guitarists, and search of the vocalist. The was no questions about any concerts and other actions. In result the album "Through Eternity" and just recorded “Tears And Blood” did not received due information support, and the group for the long period (summer 1999 - winter 2001) disappeared from a view of massmedia, and fans. Despite of it, they worked on a new material.
Evgeny Ryzhenok came the group again in the winter 2001 as the bass guitarist. He played some concerts and recorded a few absolute new tracks in M.O.S.T. Studio, with Pavel Peristiy’s vocal. However, Evgeny because of his alcohol abuse left the band.
In the spring 2003 recording of the single “I’m Paralysed/The Last” was completed. Last day in August the group shoots a clip on a new song "The Last". At the fall of 2004 Russian label Metalism Rec. released album "Tears And Blood"
Now the group is working above a material for a new album which on tentative estimations of the musicians will differ from the previous creativity in a heavier and more aggressive side.
