SHRINE OF SCARS

Sacramento Kings of Death Metal

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator This band was formed in 1998 under the name "Thirsty For Blood." We played numerous gigs in Auburn, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Our stage show consisted of fire, metal, and of course lots of blood. In 2000 we put out a 5 song demo cassette limited to 50 copies.
We had a few member changes and we changed the name to "Shrine Of Scars." After a six month hiatus and some more member changes we released "Deathbed for a Weakening Spirit".
In 2003 Disfigured Records released "Violence Is The Answer", which received many great reviews worldwide.
In 2005 we recorded "The Knife" with the great Bart Thurber @ the House of Faith studio in Oakland, CA. An all "live" analog recording with zero computers (pro-tools) used.
Our main focus as of late is just cutting records. We have 2 written and ready to go. You will see these monsters in 2008.
S.O.S. is not trying to be the fastest, most brutal or extreme band. We are strictly committed to playing metal in the vein we would like to hear it.
