Product Overview
Scar Of The Sun - Inertia (LP) After sharing the stage with outstanding acts such as Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium, as well as compatriots Rotting Christ, Greek modern metal five-piece SCAR OF THE SUN is poised to reach the next level with the release of their otherworldly third full-length, Inertia. The album delivers a fresh take on melodic, atmospheric, often progressively-influenced metal while forging a unique path, and acts as a follow up to their self-titled demo (2005), debut full-length A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies (2011) and sophomore offering In Flood (2016). On Inertia, SCAR OF THE SUN utilizes scientific terminology to transmit their impassioned messages of difficult trials and social awareness lyrically, conveying an overarching theme that reflects one of societyâs heaviest burdens Ü that financial gain has flourished at the expense of humanity and the livelihoods of everyday people. Instrumental intro ÓHydrogenÝ stirs things up before kicking in with hard-hitting title track ÓInertiaÝ, evoking a truly thunderous verse and, propelled by blasting drums, leads into an undeniably catchy chorus. With its razor-sharp riffs, ÓI Am The Circle'' refuses to compromise and genuinely reflects on the toughest aspects of being a musician, while the ÓQuantum Leap ZeroÝ-trilogy conveys very intense and dramatic events that occured in Greece in 2015: Suppression, rise/revolution and huge defeat in the end. Beginning with ÓQuantum Leap Zero I: Torque ControlÝ, SCAR OF THE SUN unveils a whole new instrumental facet of the record, splicing their soundscapes with distinctively desolate vibes. ÓQuantum Leap Zero II: Transition To TurbulenceÝ, on the other hand, calls for an untamed storm to annihilate everything, followed by atmospheric ÓOxygenÝ, smashing ÓThe Fallible ExperimentÝ and poignant trilogy-closer ÓQuantum Leap Zero III: ThrustÝ. Inertia ends with ÓAnastasisÝ (Greek for ÓresurrectionÝ), an intense track about the terrible pain of losing someone you love. With this closer, SCAR OF THE SUN manages to put agony into words and turn this palpable despair into emotive music. Inertia was recorded and mixed by singer and songwriting mastermind Terry Nikas at Zero Gravity Studios in Athens, Greece and mastered by the legendary Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Dimmu Borgir) at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden.
