Bristol techno, noise and hardcore supremos SCALPING are
releasing their highly anticipated debut album “Void”.
Void comes on the heels of an extremely exciting 2021 for the
band, which saw them play to sold-out crowds at the Roundhouse
twice in two weeks - both on tour with Squarepusher and at

Pitchfork Festival London - as well as releasing two widely
acclaimed EPs titled “FLOOD” and “FLOOD Remixed”, the latter of
which featured treatments from producers Hodge, Azu Tiwaline,
object blue, AQXDM and Laurel Halo, and Scottish instrumental rock
legends Mogwai.
SCALPING are heavy metal in 4D; the sound is moody, distorted
and rhythmic, but the use of electronic techniques gives the finer
details room to breathe, making more space for experimentation.
Tracks such as “Tether”, featuring Oakland rapper DÆMON, puts a
modern, metal twist on Bristolian trip-hop, whereas album closer
“Remain in Statis” features fast-rising artist Grove, a Bristol-based
rapper and self-professed metalhead whose commanding presence
sets the track alight.
In the heat and darkness, it’s a swarm of low-end frequencies and
ripping guitars, somewhere between Black Sabbath-esque
psychedelica and The Bug’s sub-bass headfuckery. Live, the effect
is immense. SCALPING play continuously for the duration of their
sets, generating a storm of metal-and-techno through a rising
beats-per-minute count;
This February, “Void” will be put to the test, as the band kicks off
an eight-date UK headline tour, culminating in a live performance at
fabric on May 5th. As live shows return in 2022, SCALPING will
continue to prove themselves as one of the UK’s most impressive,
ambitious, and original new live bands.
