SCARS opens the vault of rarities on International Rock Day!
Brazilian veteran thrashers SCARS could not pass up on International Rock Day, July 13, and to commemorate the date, as well as their 30-year career now in 2021, the band is officially releasing a mega package of 15 singles filled with rarities under the name “Scars 30 Years – The Singles Collection”. There are a total of 37 previously unreleased tracks, encompassing alternative versions, edited, remastered, demos, rehearsals, live, re-records and much more. For now, this package is only available in digital format on all streaming platforms, but the band is studying the possibility for the future physical release of a boxset containing 15 CDs.

“In celebration of the band's 30th anniversary, we've selected 15 tracks from all of our releases to date and made them available separately as singles with one or two additional rare tracks in each, showing pre-production, demos and live versions at different times of our career. Maybe we will physically release this in the future?”, commented Alex Zeraib (guitar)
“Particularly, I thought the idea of releasing these commemorative singles was excellent, as it is very interesting to hear how the songs were born and developed until the final result. I've re-recorded some guitar solos in alternative versions and I hope they were at the same high level as their original recordings!”, commented Ricardo Lima (guitar)
“There are few bands that resist for so many years in the Brazilian scene. Thirty years is a real milestone! So many battles faced, challenges overcome, as well as great friends and many memories. This fact deserves to be properly celebrated. There is no band that can survive without fans. Heavy Metal is a musical genre made by fans for fans and nothing better than celebrating with those who have supported us along this journey. These singles represent just that! It was very interesting to revisit this material and even more to share it with everyone!”, commented Joao Gobo (drums).
“In this package we have Scars in various formations and different moments. I hadn't heard much myself (laughs). You can feel the energy of each stage and always with great competence! Scars rules!”, commented Marcelo Mitche (bass).
“All the musicians who have been a part of the band were, and continue to be, a fundamental part of the Scars family, as they gave blood and sweat every second they were with us. And that was very clear in every live version or demo released in this pack. This release is a gift to all of us, Heavy Metal fans, that we should celebrate International Rock Day not only this July 13th, but every day!”, commented Régis F. (vocals)
