Deathcore Dealers A SCAR FOR THE WICKED Unveil "Acolythus"

Preparing to decimate with their forthcoming release Acolythus on November 7th, 2024, A SCAR FOR THE WICKED offer their first blood offering, the title track with a new music video. Enter the shadows and descend into the pits of despair as you join this deathly cult.

The band comments on the first single "Acolythus":

"'Acolythus' serves as the main theme song and self-titled track of the album. It delves into the sin of blasphemy, focusing on the sixth circle of hell. The song portrays a dark, twisted depiction of a cult devoted to the dark lord, presenting an inverted version of Christ through rituals of blood and sacrilege. The cult's worship is depicted as a perverse inversion of holy rites, emphasizing their eternal damnation and the blasphemous nature of their devotion. They are forever the servants.

'Acolythus' stands out as the catchiest song on the album, with a blend of memorable and engaging elements. From melodic riffs and technical Solos, heavy down-picked riffs drive the song, providing a powerful and intense foundation. Not one single riffs in this track is being repeated twice. The track concludes with a heavy breakdown that intensifies the experience, followed by a final solo that provides a dramatic and satisfying finish. This track combines all the elements of what A SCAR FOR THE WICKED is all about."
