SCALERA

"Tearing up stages one show at a time"

About Me

“Scalera is a Cleveland metal band whose names sounds like a disease, and who’s music is equally infectious.”
Formed in 2005 by members of semi-successful local bands: Element, Puppet, Resist, Nothing Left, Wrench and Obscured Vision. Scalera used their musical knowledge & experience to fine tune a “new metal/hardcore sound” drawing from influences like Machine Head, Bleeding Through & Deftones.
“If Scalera were a breakfast cereal, they’d be sweet, but crunchy, high in fiber, full of sugar, and cut the shit out of your mouth.”
Scalera gained immediate fan approval and attention by holding their own on a rigorous touring schedule, and opening for heavy-hitters including Hell Yeah, Taproot, Powerman 5000, Disturbed, Silent Civilian, Ill Nino, Brides of Destruction, Hatebreed, Type O Negative, Chimiaira and Adema to name a few.
Even before Scalera’s highly anticipated demo could be recorded, (by Rich Spalla of Stemm and guitar hero Cole Martinez) the band’s solid sound & impeccable work ethic gained them sponsorship from Basson Amps, Epidemic Clothing, Jagermeister, Basson Sound Equipment, Coffin Case, Speed Evil Clothing, SIT Strings, and most recently Peavey.
Scalera is currently preparing for their follow up to last years ep. Going into Filthy Hands Studio with Skinny from Mushroomhead to record their first full length album. Just the framework of Scalera’s world take-over preparations.
