Trophy Scars be like “I had sex with a samurai-cowgirl’s ghost who looked like my Mom whoa whoooooaaaaa”

Astral Pariah finds Trophy Scars at their most ferociously focused and dementedly dense, delivering a fleeting and audacious distillation of everything the band have worked towards in their storied career. Where Holy Vacants was a diffuse blockbuster of epic proportions, here, the band has burrowed inward and found a nasty and unblinking center that is more meticulous and uncompromising than usual. Something wicked this way comes, indeed.

If Holy Vacants was the band firing on all cylinders to throw everything and the kitchen sink at the wall, Astral Pariah is content to sit back in a leather chair with a cigar to regale you in a tall tale. This is maybe their most intimate, focused album of their career that goes by entirely too quickly. The performances are nuts and will soon have you finding yourself white knuckling to hear the next twist in this revenge saga. Sister might be their most sinister song ever, but I don't want to delve too deep in specifics. This likely won't have as wide of an appeal as Holy Vacants, but it rules. Trophy Scars continues to be one of the underground's most underappreciated acts and I sincerely hope we don't have to wait another seven years to hear whatever concoction they dream up next.

Trophy Scars is incapable of making a bad album. A focused shot of adrenaline and absolutely fucking filthy
western riffs with a vocal performance that makes Tom waits sound like Anthony green

This sound and style might be already seen in bands like Dear Hunter, but there is something so explosive about it, and what makes Trophy Scars different than Dear Hunter is their use of more blues-rock, Americana, and gothic country elements than something like baroque pop. Also, this album is nice and short, with only 30-minutes of run time, the concept and ideas is nice and short. Compared to the lengthy projects of Dear Hunter.

Further down the American rabbit hole. The post-hardcore band is now dead, replaced by a traditional American one. And it's a good band.
