Having recently reviewed an album from Diminished Fifth Records a few months ago, I knew roughly what to expect from Creator of Scars. Yes that’s right more dirty southern, bluesy metal and rock n’ roll. The first thing I noticed about Creator of Scars was the album cover. On the rear cover Iron Giant have written a poem that contains all the titles of all the songs, which is a general piece about what else but working class life, drinking and fighting.

I started listening to Creator of Scars and realised that something was wrong. It wasn’t bloody loud enough. So I cranked up the volume, got myself a beer and pulled a stupid face, you know the one where it’s looks like your trying to play air guitar by gurning like a bastard along to the groovy dual lead harmony bit. Creator of Scars is dirty like a trailer park whore and listening to it is just like her – insert very rude act here – and you loving every second.

Iron Giant have been given the godly gift of chugging and grooving. This is a gift that I can always appreciate. In life I love nothing more than finding new music and Creator of Scars really ices my cake. The sound is solid, dirty without being over fuzzy and on the whole just spot on, the bass and guitars just sit so snugly together and the dynamic punches are a real blow. If you like your metal grooving, Iron Giant have created a gift for you. Don’t deny your ears the treat of hearing this.
