PREMIERE: Enter A Massive Scar Era With “30 Years” Bill Fetty April 12, 2017 Premieres Today’s offering is from a band we’ve recently featured: Massive Scar Era. They’ve been born and raised in the Egyptian metal scene but now call Vancouver their home-base. With a production that highlights the range of vocalist, Cherine Amr, and that folds all of the manifest bits and pieces of the band together this is, perhaps, the most ‘complete’ they have sounded yet. We’re very excited to premiere the video for the title track from their latest release, 30 Years.

Most of this coverage has focused on two events: the emergence of a female-fronted metal band in Egypt in the wake of the Arab Spring - a wave of protests and popular uprisings across the Middle East during 2011 - or the recent denial of entry to the United States this past month when they were expecting to make it to play at SXSW (more on the specifics of this event are below). The band’s music, as you’ll read, became sort of secondary to these current event-based stories.
