There have been several artists sharing the name Scorched Earth: 1) The Seattle based Scorched-Earth had its origins in the one-man band project Nazgul, founded by Terry McCorriston in 1994. After one demo, "Under Blood Red Eyes", the band's name was re-christened "Scorched-Earth" in 1995 and McCorriston set out to form a full band to fully express S-E's Metal Of Extermination. After several line-up changes, their first CD "Thy Kingdom Crushed" was recorded in 1999 with the line-up of Terry on guitar and vocals, Scott Sanders on drums, Mike Kapsiak on guitar and Sanford Johnson on bass. Released in early 2000, it met with favor in the underground and is now sold out. Drawing from the cult thrash feel as well as modern Death Metal influences, "Thy Kingdom Crushed" stood alone in its uniqueness and ruthlessness. After going through some lineup changes, the band recorded and released "Gods, Kings, and Conquerors" in 2003. This time out they were a three piece, with new drummer Joshua Hanenburg stepping into the fold. "Gods, Kings, and Conquerors" was even more vicious than the previous CD, and fans received it like rabid wolves. Scorched-Earth then played many shows in the US and Canada in support of this album, alongside the likes of Impaled, Exhumed, Dragonlord, Nevermore, Severed Savior, Anal Blast, Dreams Of Damnation, Serpens Aeon, and Drawn and Quartered. Ted Cohn was then recruited to join in on guitar, and the band set out on desecrating the West Coast on the Swarm of Eternal Blackness tour with Kult Ov Azazel, Teratism, and Sumeria. Scorched Earth broke up in 2013. Their final lineup was as follows: Sandy Johnson Bass Joshua Hannenburg Drums Matt Fields Guitars Terry McCorriston Vocals, Guitars 2) Chris Bowden: saxes, keys, string arrangements. Mike Gates: acoustic - electric guitars, vocals. Simon Smith: double bass Andy Wheeler: drums, percussion. A unique blend of acoustic rock/jazz/downtempo/melancholy/powerful beautiful moving compelling music. 3) A '70s band featuring Billy Ocean who released only one single, "On the Run". 4) An NWOBHM band from Birmingham who recorded one 12", 'Tomorrow Never Comes', and a BBC Friday Rock Show session. 5) Scorched Earth is a metal band based in Patras, Greece, that made its first steps in the local music scene in 2023. Rooted in groove and heavy metal, they aim to create a sound that is both dynamic and atmospheric. Inspired by a wide range of influences-from classic 80s heavy metal to more modern death, groove and progressive metal-their music combines powerful riffs, intense rhythms and vocals with screams in a style that is uniquely their own. Having shared the stage with bands like Mortal Torment, Anorimoi and Scanner, Scorched Earth, with an expanding fan base and an unwavering commitment to growth, are cementing their presence in the modern metal landscape-strong, unbridled and ready to make an impact. After the recent release of their single named Six Feet Under, they are determined to excite and thrill the heavy metal audience with their upcoming EP titled Bloodspill.
