Scatterface is a songwriter and producer from Germany with a broad stylistic range and a flare for the dramatic. His music ranges from Classical to Metal and retro Dark Pop. In all cases, the song and the story are king. The artist applies his extensive musical abilities if and when the narrative requires.
“SC4TTERF4CE_” is the opening track and single from Scatterface’s new album, “2020.” The song is set to a backdrop of 80’s electro-Goth Dark Wave Alternative. It hearkens back to Alternative legends like Bauhaus or some of the darker Depeche Mode stuff.
After a theatrical synthwave intro, the song immediately begins building tension with rapid syncopated percussion and persistent, overlapping arpeggios. The effect is palpable. From the groovy analog synths to perfect hairband-worthy extended guitar solo, Before fading out, the track kicks into a cool metal/industrial groove. “SC4TTERF4CE_” is a wild ride through 80’s styles.
The song’s cinematic feel suggests there may be more to the story. That story comes in the form of “2020,” a fifteen song journey through the many styles and genres of popular music. Throughout the album, Scatterface lets the story determine the sound. The effect is an engaging bit of musical theater.
