Vancouver, BC - Scissortooth has teamed up with Noizz Webzine for the premiere of their latest track 'Rotting Alive' from their upcoming album 'Novagomorrah' set to be unleashed on Galy Records on July 28th with pre-order available here. 'Rotting Alive' embodies Bay Area thrash metal from the 80's, Seattle grunge from the 90's, while adding raspy vocals over chugging riffs and questions the intentions of corporations and the constant push to consume.
"Rotting Alive" is about the constant bombardment and force feeding of commercials, products and being 'consumers." comments drummer Shawn Hoskins.

Their sound embodies the aggressive, yet groovy feeling of early Pantera braised with industrial samples throughout the album.

Biography:
Scissortooth is a Canadian Thrash Metal band from Vancouver, B.C.. Formed in 2003 by Derek Lundblad (Vocalist/guitarist) and Shawn Hoskins (drummer), formerly from Mantra, moved to the west coast from Grande Prairie, A.B.. The current line-up comprises of founding members Lundblad, Hoskins, and Ken Firomski (bassist), Ken (Empyria and Cradle to Grave) who moved from Granisle B.C.. (Empyria and Cradle to Grave).
The band's melodic hooks, varying tempos, and aggressive musicianship alongside of original writing approach and unique timbre has given their songs a different edge to most modern acts. Influenced by a wide spectrum of sounds of bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Type O Negative to Soundgarden, Tool, Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails have lent to the songwriting and arrangements a flavor that fills a void in today's often bland musical climate
Their debut full length, Novagomorrah is scheduled to be release July 28, 2015.
