Here's Tim Krysko with our International Spotlight:

I've been missing from action for most of the summer, so coming back my first thought is naturally, "where do I begin?". I'm going to start with Scalping Screen - a band I first featured here in January of 2004 when they released their debut album on Godschild Music in Hong Kong - and as good a pick as any. They've since put out their sophomore record, Blood Out, and improved on every aspect of their debut. This is metal from the European north, but not like the stuff that part of the world is usually known for. Scalping Screen are styled more along the lines of Pantera and NYC hardcore.
