What is with Southern California
anyway? A place where people go to make
their dreams come true. An alluring
vacation spot with gorgeous beaches,
warm weather, hills, mountains,
valleys, and more sunshine than some
can handle. However, Southern
California is becoming a renowned home
to some of the most metallic and
malevolent metalcore bands in the
country. There are other places in the
world that have darkness for weeks at a
time, constant gloom and bleak conditions,
making its inhabitants stir with
frustration from their morose
surroundings to form harsh and
aggressive bands. Wouldn't you think
such enraged and heavy-hitting bands
like Atreyu, Throwdown, and Bleeding
Through would originate in such a
desolate and dismal environment?

You thought wrong. This is the real OC.

Next up out of Orange County are SCARS
OF TOMORROW who are ready to seize the
Southern California metalcore crown and
take it global. In contrast to their
surrounding milieu, they are austere,
passionate, and most definitely
pissed-off. They share the trademark
Cali metalcore sound mixed with the
traditional hardcore influences of
Hatebreed and Madball and the
straight-up metal of Meshuggah and
Slayer. Creating a fresh approach to
pulverizing yet melodic mosh metal with
harmony-laden musical interludes, SCARS
OF TOMORROW are the next big thing in the

Mike, Bob and Carlos formed the band in
October 2000 as a musical vehicle to
productively cope with their anger and
frustration of life. Their goal was to
create a sound that reflected their
love of east coast hardcore and the
California scene and sound that they
have been a part of for so many years.
"We had been listening to so much
hardcore like Sick Of It All since we
were teens, but at the same time when we
starting playing together, we were
influenced by metal bands like Shadows
Fall and more melodic mainstream stuff
like Deftones. We were constantly
going to local shows and knew that we
could make music like this, while
pulling in the musical influences that
are so significant to us".

SCARS OF TOMORROW starting writing and
recording shortly after getting together,
releasing "All Things Change" in 2001
and the more recognized "Design Your
Fate" in 2003 on Thorp Records. The
band toured the West Coast repeatedly,
then hit the entire US shortly
thereafter. They picked up two new
members including Chris on drums and
Dave on guitar, which ended up keeping
the band completely focused. All five
members of SCARS OF TOMORROW share the
same vision - maintaining artistic
integrity and making music that other
people can relate to, while
concurrently exorcising their own
personal demons. At this point, SCARS OF
TOMORROW were ready to be a full-time
band on a full-time record label.

SCARS OF TOMORROW were picked up by
Victory Records in May of 2003. They
embarked on another national tour,
hitting the seminal summer festivals
like Hellfest and Furnace Fest playing
in front of crowds they'd never played
to before. In November of 2003, the band
made the pilgrimage to God City Studios
in Salem, Massachusetts to record with
Converge's own Kurt Ballou. "We were so
stoked to record with Kurt for various
reasons - one being that he is in
Converge, and two being the great bands
that recorded here, like Cave In and
The Hope Conspiracy. It was almost
surreal. We couldn't be happier with
how the record turned out. It's sick."
"Rope Tied To The Trigger" was the end
product of three weeks spent at God
City. It is eleven tracks of American
metalcore spawned by personal struggle
and raw emotion yet still maintaining a
sense of positivity.

"Rope Tied To The Trigger" is a
musical fusion of hostility and
aggression with plenty of mosh parts -
met with sensuous melodic guitar segments
and earnest lyrics. The SoCal metalcore
scene continues to develop; and SCARS
OF TOMORROW will be an integral
contributor to its evolution. Look for
this band on tour in North America in
support of their Victory debut, "Rope
Tied To The Trigger", in stores
