This CD is a promo containing four songs from their upcoming fullength, intro, outro and a Samhain cover as a bonus. Again, Scarecrow starts off with a truly haunting intro, leaving you thinking this should be black metal. But it�s not; it�s straight up punkrock! Dead and Happy sets off and we get served a really energetic bit of hardcore-inspired punk with powerful back ups. Towards the end you�ll also be hearing some really punishing drumming, a bit more metallic than otherwise. The vocals are rough, like after a bottle of Finlandia, and it fits just perfectly to the raw music, energetic riffing and pounding drums. And it�s full of hardcorish back ups and choruses, adding even more energy to it all.
I�d say these guys are pretty morbid, considering all the songs from upcoming album Deadcrow (due 2006) has the word �dead� in it. Take punk, add a touch of metal and a dose of hardcore, and you�ve got a perfect blend for moshing. Music that just forces your body to rock along. There�s no doubt about it - Scarecrow really rocks!
