SCALPTURE sign with Testimony Records

German death metal war mongers SCALPTURE have signed a multi-album deal with Testimony Records. The band from the Westphalian city of Bielefeld will release their upcoming fourth album as well as their existing titles via the label in early 2025. 

SCALPTURE comment: “We are delighted to announce that Testimony Records is our new home”, guitarist Felix Marbach writes on behalf of the band. “With Thomas Strater and his dedicated team, we will have the opportunity to elevate our music to the next level. They will ensure that our upcoming and past releases will receive the attention that we think they deserve. With Testimony Records by our side, we are excited to find out what the future holds for us. Get ready for some intense music and hopefully unforgettable shows!”

Testimony Records state: “We are thrilled to announce the signing of Scalpture”, label manager Thomas Strater writes. “They are one of the driving forces in the current German death metal scene. Their bulldozing death metal style is irresistibly causing massive headbanging. Their war-inspired lyrics are thought-provoking and far beyond the often stereotypical approach to this inherently difficult topic. Expect great things to come!”

When SCALPTURE came into being in the German city of Bielefeld in 2009, founding guitarist Felix Marbach already had a clear vision: The musical direction was to be death metal without any compromise regarding its roots and values, but at the same time the band aimed to evolve into a singular musical entity with a unique style very much their own right from the start.

With the release of their debut album “Panzerdoktrin” (‘Doctrine of Tanks’) in 2016 it became apparent that SCALPTURE had succeeded to reach a first milestone in their quest by adding different facets of heaviness to their death metal foundations that reflect the wide range of the band members’ musical influences. With each new album that followed, “Eisenzeit” (‘Iron Age’, 2020) and “Feldwärts” (“To the Fields”, 2022), SCALPTURE at the same expanded their stylistic horizon, while also defining and focusing a sound of their own.

It is hardly surprising that all of SCALPTURE‘s album titles refer to the topic of ‘war’ that the band has decided to adopt as their prime lyrical theme. Staying away from glorifying stereotypes, their texts are built on detailed historical research and portray the horrors that the abyss of war has caused in some of the darkest hours of humankind. Although the Germans have chosen war as their main subject, SCALPTURE embrace modern values such as tolerance, peace, and reason.

Currently, SCALPTURE prepare for their next album to be released in early 2025 as well as a massive tour next year. Stay tuned for more exiting death metal news!
