Bio:
Scavenger is an oldschool Belgian heavy metal band that released the album “Battlefields” in 1985. Great for fans of Ostrogoth, Acid, and Crossfire!Scavenger surfaced onto the scene after Deep Throat were forced to change their moniker in late 1984, due to the fact that a German band by the same name claimed the rights to the name. In those days the Scavenger line-up included Jan Boeken (vocals), guitarists Marc Herremans (ex-Backslider, White Heat) and Patrick Vanschooren (ex-Wicked Widow), Roger Roscam (bass) and on the drums Luc Ebinger (ex-Hellfire, Dakota, En Psycho Monkey).Back in November of 1984, on the evidence of their one and only, Deep Throat had already signed a deal for three albums with Mausoleum Records. In February of 1985 Scavenger began recording for their debut LP, which was supposed to be entitled “No Return”. The recordings would continue, every once in a while, for some three months. Produced by Ward Kuczynski and guitarist Marc Herremans, all recordings took place at Harry's Studio in Heist-op-den-Berg. The mixing took place at the Shiva Studios in Brussels.Scavenger's debut release finally saw the light of day in September of 1985. The title had been changed to “Battlefields” though, as “No Return” was considered to be no good by Mausoleum Records. Instead the song “No Return” was elected to be the opening tune on side A. Their “Battlefields” tour started in 1985.Unfortunately, Mausoleum quit their activities just after “Battlefields” album came out, so the future of Scavenger was hypothecated and this resulted in the dissolution of the band due to the lack of financial and material support.In 2017 the paths of Luke Ebinger and Marc Herremans crossed again. They decided to bring Scavenger back with 6 own songs and some new songs. Together with 3 new members, Tine Callebaut, Kevin Demesmaeker & Lucas Baten, Scavenger was reformed.These new, and younger, bandmembers were found but instead of a new male vocalist, they now joined forces with a female vocalist called Tine Callebaut. At this moment the band is working on new songs and they also wanna go on stage once again, their first gig is already booked: June 9th 2018 at the Stormram Festival in Zulte(Belgium). Beware the new Scavenger!
Album:
Scavenger's new album "Beyond the Bells" to be released by No Remorse Records on March 22, 2024; Premiere of song "Black Witchery". Formed in 1984 in Belgium, the first chapter of Scavenger starts with their debut album "Battlefields" (1985) released by Mausoleum Records.Standing the test of time, the powerful debut has become a real cult classic of the '80s underground heavy metal scene. Shortly after its release, Mausoleum ends its activities making it impossible for Scavenger to continue but no one expected what was yet to come. This was just the beginning...In 2018, the Belgian heavy rockers break out of their slumbering state and re-emerge onto the scene with a fresh line-up celebrating their well aged first release by playing a series of festivals and club shows around Europe. The band's metamorphosis/fans sparked the growing demand and creativity to start writing new material and moving forward. Chapter two became imminent after independently releasing their 2-track 7" single "Backslider" back in 2020. Fully supported by original members, fans and friends, they present their long anticipated full-length "Beyond the Bells". Balancing on a tightrope between old-school speed metal and hard rocking anthems, Scavenger delivers 9 new tracks assuring listeners to floor the gaspedam and speed at night. Influenced by a variety of '80s classics, speed metal, NWOBHM and hard rock, this album is a perfect fit for fans of Acid, Warlock, Judas Priest and the spirit of traditional metal.
