Scat - Adicted to Hell cdr (2007)
Existing since the late '90s and virtually unknown, even in their home town of Ottumwa, IA, SCAT started out as a minimalist doom metal band with songs well over 30 minutes each. After some line up changes and unfinished recordings, gradually adding more "music" to their sound, SCAT emerged a great mixture of old school thrash metal and hook laden monster rock, putting more emphasis on riffs than pure sonic torture. "Adicted to Hell" re-records some of the songs developed during their transition period while adding new songs exclusive to this release. Make no mistake; this shit will fuck you up. Mortville

Ottumwa? I've been there! I lived about twenty minutes away for a couple of years. Fuck me if kids in Iowa should not be writing the most fucked up, depressing shit out there. That plays is fucking horrible, except for their little sheet metal skatepark. That spot was fun. The whole town smells of the pork slaughterhouse/packing plant, though. It's like a constant bacon fart just under your nostrils.
