Scar Chamber - Ugly on the Inside (CD)

Scar Chamber comes roaring out of the gate with Ugly on the Inside, an 11-song collection of dark, edgy, melodic hard rock built for fans who still want big guitars, memorable songs and plenty of attitude.The band was founded by guitarist Ron Freschi of Babylon A.D. and lead vocalist Jeff Winslow. Freschi brings the unmistakable guitar sound and songwriting instincts that helped define the music of Babylon A.D., but Scar Chamber is not simply an attempt to recreate the past.Instead, Ugly on the Inside pushes that foundation forward. Freschi stretches his sound without abandoning the hard-rock identity listeners have come to expect from his playing, while Winslow brings a commanding vocal presence that gives Scar Chamber it's own personality.Joining Freschi and Winslow is drummer Dylan Soto of Babylon A.D., whose hard-hitting style adds both power and energy to the album. Completing the lineup is seasoned bassist Jaron Gulino, known for his work with Lynch Mob and Heavens Edge.Together, Scar Chamber delivers a hard-driving record loaded with muscular riffs, melodic hooks and the kind of swagger that made late-'80s and early-'90s hard rock so memorable, while keeping the production and songwriting firmly rooted in the present.If your collection includes Babylon A.D., Lynch Mob, Harem Scarem and other guitar-heavy melodic hard rock, Scar Chamber belongs on your radar.Get in. Buckle up. Keep your head down. Enjoy the ride.
