SCARECROWN is Italian band. Them the short album “'Til The Last Breath” includes 5 songs in stylistics Gothic Doom/Nu Metal. In this music the gentle full of sensualities female vocals in Amy Lee's style or Liv Kristineare create the Gothic tinge . The singing freely pass by the musical moods, created by the calm Rock themes as well as the heavy Nu Metal sounds. This singing gives sensitivity and larger spaceis to the music. But the singing of Antonella is not the only voice in the team, because there also more seldom appear the the male's heavy and aggressive growlings, emphasizing the stronger knocks.

The instrumental side of the band is based mainly on the heavy rhythmical and melodious rock-metal riffs supported by the complex work of the drums. The heavy guitars and the frequent percussive passages give crushing tune to the music. In the compositions happen smooth interweaving of Nu Metal stylistics with Doom Metal playing – the slow pace overweighs over the quicker rhythms. The chordal insertions or the leading parties of bass guitar appear here.

Generally the music is even gloomy, dark and lightly psychedelic as well as melancholy. Listening it I had mainly associations with EVANESCENCE and less with THEATRE OF TRAGEDY.
