about
Scorched Mind is a Northeastern Pennsylvania-based extreme metal/hardcore band from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, delivering a punishing, chaotic sound that fuses sludge, death metal, beatdown hardcore, and metallic grind elements. Formed in late 2023, the quartet draws heavy inspiration from bands like Nails, Full of Hell, Harm's Way, Scalp, The Acacia Strain, and classic HM-2 chainsaw tones (think Swedish death metal buzzsaw riffs). Their music is described as an unrelenting barrage of sludgy beatdown grooves, blasting death metal carnage, metallic hardcore riffs, and overall sonic assault—often labeled as "horrible senseless noise" in their own bio phrasing. It's raw, aggressive, and built for mosh pits, with a focus on heaviness, speed, and groove. The band has built quick momentum in the US hardcore/metal underground, with live shows in PA/CT (e.g., Scranton, V Spot Bar), positive reviews from sites like Heavy Blog Is Heavy, No Echo, and Reddit communities (r/Hardcore, r/Metalcore), and features highlighting their scene connections. If you're into powerviolence-tinged beatdown, sludge-infused deathcore, or anything Nails/Full of Hell-adjacent, Embracing The Dying Sun is a brutal, must-hear 2025 release—perfect for fans craving that chainsaw-sludge-hardcore hybrid.
