Details: Here comes the German death metal tank again, crushing and smashing, bulldozing all resistance into oblivion and breaking through the lines. SCALPTURE deliver their fourth album "Landkrieg", which means 'land warfare' in German, with deadly precision and an ambitious mission statement: to conquer the world. This time, it is not just one of the usual war themes, but each song on "Landkrieg" revolves around the 30 Year War that devastated the German lands from 1618 until 1648. On "Landkrieg", SCALPTURE stay true to their deadly roots, but their sound has been refined by endless hours on the road, playing more shows, and many days and nights well spent in the rehearsing space and at Hellforge Studio. The new songs are brutal, hard-hitting, and 100% death metal, but they also leave room for variety and cool twists. When SCALPTURE came into being in the German city of Bielefeld in 2009, founding guitarist Felix Marbach already had a clear vision: The musical direction was to be death metal without any compromise regarding it's roots and values, but at the same time the band aimed to evolve into a singular musical entity with a unique style very much their own right from the start. It is hardly surprising that all SCALPTURE's album titles refer to the topic of 'war' that the band has decided to adopt as their prime lyrical theme. Staying away from glorifying stereotypes, their texts are built on detailed historical research and portray the horrors that the abyss of war has caused in some of the darkest hours of humankind. Although the Germans have chosen war as their main subject, SCALPTURE embrace modern values such as tolerance, peace, and reason. SCALPTURE unleash a new "Landkrieg" and that leaves the world with only two choices: run for cover or bang that death metal head hard!
