Review: Scarlet - Something to Lust About


artist: scarlet
album: something to lust about
label: ferret music
released:


by: rob tatum

Something to Lust About is a six song EP full of a fast, heavy, and angry barrage. Clocking in at only 12 minutes, it is a little short, but fans of heavy hardcore with a metal twist (think Every Time I Die without any pauses or anything) will be in love with this album.

I really don’t like the lyrics, they aren’t anything special, and they are a little too sick and twisted at times for my liking. Musically, it’s energetic, in your face hardcore with some metal riffs thrown in here and there on the guitars. The vocals are very similar to Dan from Zao, but maybe without the growl.

Basically, if you are into straight forward, kickass hardcore with some metal, then you will love this band. Probably something I’ll listen to when I am pissed off about something. It’s nothing fancy. Heavy and intense. If you are looking for melody, singing, or anything pretty, then Scarlet won’t be the band for you.
