second album swedish metallic crust/d-beat.

Punk/metal/crust/whatever from Västerås, Sweden (and originally also Zagreb, Croatia).

„Swedish crusties Scavengers Circle’s new LP, In Futility, is a worthy follow-up to their promising debut, Beyond Repair. Jagged-edged riffs and über-guttural growls are fed through a käng punk grinder (and Scavengers Circle wrap the result in steel-plated metalpunk). Tracks like „Dehumanize“, „Blind to Facts“, and „Normalization“ are unvarnished and unadorned blasts of time-honoured, anvil-heavy crust. Admittedly, there’s nothing innovative at play here. But to be fair, that’s not really the point of pummelling metalpunk like this. Scavengers Circle do a great job of delivering one rock-solid track after another. Tune in if no-nonsense, chest-pounding punk is your thing.“ (Six Noises)
