Scarred, American Power Metal band was formed in 2001 by guitarist John Toscano. John’s vision of Scarred was to create a new power metal sound combining influences of metal masters such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and the newer power edge of bands like Nevermore and Iced Earth.
Scarred has enjoyed many successes over the years. In 2003 they were signed to an indie label, released Shadow of Conspiracy and toured the U.S. playing festivals such as the Milwaukee Metal Fest, Chicago Classic Metal Festival, The Gathering of the Bestial Legion Festival, L.A. Gates of Metal Festival and Power prog West. They have shared the stage with bands like Nevermore, Armored Saint, Steel Attack, Primal Fear, Into Eternity, Overkill, Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, Helloween, Metal Church and Death Angel.
After a short break John reunited with drummer Andy Salas and added vocalist Eric Claro and Bassist Ray Solorio to the band’s new line up.
While the signature Scarred style of John’s complex riffs and Andy’s wicked rolls and monstrous double bass are still present; Eric’s dark melodies with haunting screams adds an errie,complex, vast and wide sound to the band. Ray's vicious attack and lightning fingers on the bass pounds a new beastly dimension to the Scarred sound.
The band has just completed and released their latest EP "Haunting Memories" now available for purchase.
