WINGS OF SCARLET: 3 songs, nice metalcore! A good combination of chugga-chugga heavy mosh, nice metal riffs (sometimes chaotic), screaming and growling vocals...  overall this is good stuff and shows a big potential of this band...

TEARS WILL DROWN: This reminds me of PRAYER FOR CLEANSING.  Imagine SPREAD THE DISEASE, some HYMN FROM ABOVE, some PRAYER FOR CLEANSING and you'll know what they sound like... Their last song of three called "All Eyes Drawn" is a great one! Lots of double-bass, nice guitars...

WITH DEAD HANDS RISING: More metal and more MOSH! Like POINT OF RECOGNITION on a metal overdose!

Wings Of Scarlet was formed from the ashes of the band, Shoot the Hostage. After key line-up changes, we felt it necessary to change the name and identity of the band as a whole. Both of the guitarists (Louie and Parker) have been playing together for the better part of 5 years. Barry (drums) came into the group when Shoot the Hostage was formed, and has played in more bands and styles than we can name. Noah replaced Chris Wenzel (our former bassist) and comes from the band, His Autumn Falls. Shawn began filling the roles of the two singers of Shoot the Hostage and continues to scream his little heart out for Wings of Scarlet.

We are not a band that is "about" any one particular idea, concept, or issue. We all come from diverse backgrounds and belief systems and find unity through this music. As much as kids feel the ideas of togetherness and commitment to friends and family is "played out," we still feel it important in our lives. If any sort of music can foster the spirit of community, its hardcore. As much as kids like to bash it and gun on "the scene," many fail to realize how good it really is. Most of WoS come from a Metal background and the Metal scenes, so we’re seeing this with fresh eyes. We see its potential, and we hope to realize this through our music.
