Written by robert_sun [Metal Archives]
Scratching Soil plays black metal since 1996 and the band is consisted only of two members, Kein and Alastor. War Experience is their second effort, their previous album - El Nihilo Nihil - came out in 2001. Unlike in the case of Devil-May-Care, is more suitable to label Scratching Soil as black metal, even if their music is not 100% pure black metal. We can hear mostly fast and rough black riffs on this record, but I also sense a death metal influence. Don’t imagine a technical complex US death metal riffing, because Scratching Soil has more in common with the early days of death metal, their riffs somehow reminding me of early primitive death metal bands, like Death, Necrophagia, or Possessed. There are 9 tracks on the CD, and the total playing hits around 35 minutes. In 6 tracks of the 9 sweeping, rapid riffs are dominant, while the other 3 tracks have a more mid-tempo, and we can even find a few nice slow riffs. These slower parts reminded me of cult-bands like Darkthrone, Celtic Frost and Carpathian Forest, but Scratching Soil has a cleaner sound then Darkhtrone for example. I cannot say that SS has an original way of black metal, but they play fine their instruments, they have nothing trendy in their music and the most important thing is that they have memorable themes and they managed to write a few nice songs. The CD has a very professional lay-out, just as the other Stygian Crypt releases
