Many years ago in a desolate Lincolnshire town, a band of dubiously termed musicians of Nordic heraldry with a fondness for sticky back plastic decided to go their separate ways, but as a phoenix rises from the ashes a new and perhaps even more glorious band emerged from the dying embers of Thor’s Children (widely regarded as the greatest Blue Peter Metal band of all time) and thus Evil Scarecrow triumphantly exploded into existence.
In the following years the band relocated to Nottingham and evolved through several line-up changes to become the monstrous and stunning apparition that you see today.
The current incarnation of the band is version 5.0, featuring Dr Rabid Hell, Brother Dimitri Pain, Kraven Morrdeth, Princess Luxury and Ringmaster Monty Blitzfist. It is in the live arena that the band has really proved their worth.
Evil Scarecrow has gigged relentlessly around the UK for a number of years, from local pubs and small venues all around the UK through to their EPIC performance at Bloodstock Festival to upwards of 12,000 people at 11am, a boat on the way to Metal Hammer’s Golden God awards and to the ridiculously full to capacity 3rd stage of Download Festival!
The band released critically acclaimed third album ‘Galactic Hunt’ in October 2015. As ever the album included influences from across the metal genre melded together with the inimitable Evil Scarecrow humour and just a smattering of some rather more imitable dance moves.
The band shows no signs of slowing down their gigging schedule, and Evil Scarecrow will be bringing their phenomenal stage show to The Craufurd Arms this Sunday (October 29).
