After three years the undisputed kings of Scottish death metal have returned with their third album of unrelenting savagery. Scordatura’s unholy union of old school song writing and new school intensity has never been more brutally, wickedly effective than on the nine canticles of carnage that together form the mighty Mass Failure.
Scordatura have always pushed hard at the boundaries of extremity, delivering pulverising death metal of the very heaviest kind. From their 2013 debut, Torment Of The Weak, to their acclaimed second album Self-Created Abyss and now with Mass Failure, the band have striven to harness the horrific, the skull shattering and the heart-stoppingly brutal within a framework of finely crafted songs. They have never achieved their goals in such absolute fashion as they have on Mass Failure, with songs like ‘Skin Trophy’ and ‘Collapse Of Humanity’ hacking and carving their way into your brain, sculpting a shrine to their own metallic malevolence into the sacred library of your neocortex. These odes to obliteration, this evensong for the last days of humanity simply will not be forgotten, in all its glorious, frantic violence - balancing precariously between precision delivery and wild attacking power.
Together with their label, Gore House Productions, Scordatura are preparing to bring a scourge of real, ruthless death metal to the world - steeped in the blood and guts of the genre’s pioneers.
The assault will begin on September 25th and total victory is the only option. Chaos is about to be unleashed!

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
Scottish Death Metal bruisers Scordatura from Glasgow have spent years crafting their sound to reach the perfect, bludgeoning experience which was unleashed on the world in 2013 in the form of their debut album 'Torment of The Weak'.
The band was formed in 2007 at the ages of 15-16 and they recorded their first Demo in 2008 called ‘Genocidal Maniac’ followed by another demo ‘Garrote’ demo in 2009 and an E.P called Open Skies E.P also in 2009.
In this time frame the band played countless shows including supporting many touring acts such as Aborted, Misery Index, Cryptopsy and Beneath The Massacre.
In 2011 the band recorded a 2 track demo simply called ‘Demo 2011’ featuring the songs Visceral Disembowlement & Back to Crack. This is where the sound of the band started to mature and was a preview to show what was to come of their debut album.
In late 2012 their debut album ‘Torment of The Weak’ was recorded and it was self released by the band in February 2013 and the album features eight blistering tracks of pure Death Metal which was received acclaim from fans, bands and labels alike. The album was mixed by Scott Fuller of Abysmal Dawn and mastered by Fuller and Max Karon.
Throughout 2013 and 2014 the band went to play many shows around the U.K with bands such as Malignancy, Defeated Sanity, Blood Red Throne, Iniquity & Nile. The band would also end up playing a ripping set at Bloodstock on the ‘New Blood Stage’ and also toured Europe for the first time including making an appearance at the Berlin Deathfest.
In 2015 more new material was written and the band recorded and released a 2 track promo called ‘Confessions Inscribed’ which was mix and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) at The Grid, Canada.
More shows continued throughout 2015 including a U.K tour with Syn:drom from Sweden and also another European tour took place in April 2016 with Necrosis reaching out to countries like France, Belgium, Switzerand, Italy and Holland.
In Summer 2016 Scordatura signed to the label ‘Gore House Productions’ and recorded their 2nd album ‘Self Created Abyss’. The album is scheduled for release in early 2017.
