Scorched Mind – Embracing The Dying Sun is an unrelenting blast of metal and hardcore fury that demands your attention from the first note (the first track will grab your attention I promise). Following up their crushing 2024 self-titled EP, the band has taken a massive step forward, delivering a record that’s heavier, tighter, and more dynamic than ever. Tracks like “Depravity,” “Harsh Reality,” and “Formless” hit with precision and aggression, channeling raw emotion into sonic chaos. It’s the kind of album that doesn’t just get your head nodding — it makes your entire body move. Two-stepping is mandatory!
I put this record to the test in the gym, and it passed with flying colors. Every breakdown pushed my lifts harder, every blast beat fueled another rep, and more than once I caught myself pushing past my usual limits. The same applies behind the wheel...just be careful, because these riffs have a way of making the speedometer climb before you even realize it.
For fans of The Acacia Strain, END, and Nails, Embracing The Dying Sun should be an immediate addition to your playlist. Scorched Mind isn’t just keeping pace with the heavyweights in the scene — they’re gunning for their spot at the top. Brutal, relentless, and impossible to ignore, this album proves they’re a band you need to watch.
