Here comes the band ScoX! Formed in 2010 they are a young group. So far they've been in some festivals and shows and as a brutal band from Iran they have big goals in their minds. They want to reach high, but I will tell you how. For me, Psychedelic Philosophy was the first brutal album I ever heard and start of my brutal career. They work, good, better than bad and worse than great, but after the release of their first album, many changes happened to their line-up. The guitarist, the bassist and the drummer left the band. Ramtin Tourchian said that it was ScoX's dream to release an album like this. The album is free to download and it has high quality. But I think it's their biggest mistake! Will you pay money to a hospital? Tell me clearly!

Though their work isn't brilliant enough, I like their style, with a very, very harsh vocalist, named Sina, and some hard lyrics, which are also hard to define (this is brutal) and they have an odd guitarist! In my opinion if they play their guitars only a little better the melodies would also be better. It is one of brutal death's things that, mostly, rhythm is unknown. But bass and drums are good; they work well together. Drums are more like those of a black metal band! And solos are abnormal. I mean someone who wrote his style much like Chuck Schuldiner, shouldn't play solos like that. And my final rating for Psychedelic Philosophyis 8.6, and it's enough for them and their music! This band is not so good or not so bad, a simple example of a normal band. (But don't tell Ramtin Tourchian what I told you! He could kill me ) I also had an interview with ScoX's Ramtin Tourchian and wrote it in forum. They will release a single soon! I faithfully thank you if you tell me any other ideas about ScoX.
