Review: Released last year after a long lockdown incubation, Scar's third album Road Less Travelled was one of Metalheadz most notable LPs in recent times, proving once again that Survival and Script are an certified album act who can whip up epic narratives without losing any dancefloor punch. Here they remind us once again with a series of VIPs from themselves and friends such as Zero T and Nookie. Highlights include the sweeping thunderous sub on 'Losing Your Mind', the slippery, bad ass space funk twist on the VIP of 'Conductor' and Artificial Intelligence's creepy flip of 'Caterpillar'. Keep it scenic.

Review: Following massive albums 'Orkyd Project' and 'High Fives & Devil Eyes', Script and Survival return with their third LP and it's an absolute hoot. Maintaining their high benchmark for journey-like experiences that are rich in emotion and soaked in big references that celebrate the last 30 years of D&B culture, 'The Road Less Travelled' is a whirlwind trip around some of the most exciting and uncompromising corners of drum & bass. 'Caterpillar' doffs its cap to Virus, 'Bravo Tango' is all about the big old bruising classic Bristol sound while 'Santa Cruz' winks saucily at movements like Creative Source... these are just three examples. Complete with a range of interesting and experimental skit-like shorts, there's a real flow and timeless feel to this. The way an album should be!

Review: Not to be confused with Mufasa's evil bitter brother in Lion King, Survival and Script's Scar alias is one of the flagship acts in Metalheadz premiership and this is their first new material since their pre-lockdown album High Fives & Devil Eyes. Heavyweight as ever, each track punches with both emotional and physical energy. Highlights include the toxic sludge bassline on 'Why', the pristine Good Looking dreaminess and gorgeous flutes on 'All I See' and the hurricane soul of the finale track with Ella Sopp 'Falling Down'. High grade material.

Review: Second albums are meant to be difficult but you tell that to Survival and Script and they'll laugh in your prudy little face: Scar's follow up to The Orkyd Project is another remarkable body of work. The first of a three album deal the London duo have with Metalheadz (the first ever deal the label have ever offered any artist) High Fives & Devil Eyes is a powerful jolt of timeless D&B that dig deep into every corner of the genre. From the alluring intro of "Circle Of Trust" to the deep, introspection of the finale "Eternal" via the wonky-assed "Pauline", the scuzzy gritty bass of "First Sound" and trippy funk of the album title track, the only difficult thing about this second album is working out which tune you want to play in your sets first. High fives all round!

Review: A year has passed since Script and Survival last blessed us with their rugged wares but the wait, as always, has been worth it. Four tracks of authentic, bulletproof block-knockery, it's the sound of two men who love the 90s rudiments as much as they love their machines; "Stalker" lives up to its creepy name, all dark, creepy and persistent. The tension-wrought "Hide In Plain Sight" takes a much more of a cinematic twist with its sample, drawn out strings and grainy synth squiggles while "Sleep Talk" takes us down a much darker, tribal route that nods more towards the Samurai style of the craft. Last but definitely not least, "Hey You" finishes the EP with the most emotional, soul-stirring piece of the EP. Lingering pianos, unhurried, deep-breath pads and bassline so warm and voluptuous you want to live in it; like all Scar releases it leaves us hungry for more... Let's hope they don't leave it a year to wait.

Review: Quashing rumours that they're named after the devious evil baddie in Lion King with every single scud they fire off, Scar return with their first EP of the year. After two trample sessions on Dispatch, they're back on the motherlabel with four more gnarly quashers; "Leave Off" punches with a big swathing hook and bone-snapping kicks while "Out Of Perspective" rolls with such immense steel drum gusto you won't need to shave for a week while "Born Again" takes us right back to Blue Note era otherworldliness. Made to damage the dance and push the DJ to mix creatively, this asks more questions than it answers. Finally "Close My Eyes" completes the circle of life with a blissed and blessy soulful switch up graced with the soothing dulcets of Martyna Baker. Natural born (again) killers.

Review: Not content with making it to the finals of Masterchef, Survival's also been cooking up Michelin star level jungle with Script too. Make that five Michelin stars. Maybe even six... "The Wrong Side" is simply incredible. Concreted abstract jungle theatre with belting vocals from Naomi Pryor, this has potential to be a tune of the year. Deeper on the menu we find "Make 'Em Know", a one way ticket on the bludclart bus to the Leisure Lounge circa 97 before signing out with cosmic sax blasts and velvet harmonies from Hadwen & Higgins on the sublime "Beside Me". And if that's not quite enough, there's even a 2 Bad Mice remix. For reals. This really is too good to be true...

Review: After what feels like an eternity of samplers and social media teasers, Metalheadz drop Survival & Script's debut Scar album.... And the wait has been completely worth it. Ranging from space-aged halftime grime ("Your Mistake") to incredible vocal-laced drum drama ("Renegade Kicks") by way of 23rd century cosmic soul ("Temptation") and straight-up gritty steppers ("Fractions"), skippy breaks ("The Rocket") and jazzy, funkier workouts ("You Were Here Again"), this completely compounds all the duo's successes so far and puts them on a much wider map. A serious album with depth, dynamics and soul. D&B albums like this don't come round very often...

Review: Only two years have passed since Survival & Script unleashed their Scar project but already it feels like they've been part of the D&B landscape forever. Their grand scope of heritage and shared futurist vision has ensured each document is as weightier than the last... And their debut album The Orkyd Project is set to be so heavy we may need a new server store it. Tuck into these three sampler tracks for proof: Naomi Pryor's vocals get two stunning deep night contexts while "Yours" and "Punch Drunk" both slap with industrial glee. Bring on the full album!

Review: The wounds have yet to heal from their "Better Than Me" EP earlier this year and already Survival and Script are back with more salty sonics. Five tracks in total, each one punching with equal precision. From the space-chase bass and stretched sci-fi textures of the A.I collabo "Free Fall" to the really interesting drum arrangements and trippy switches of "Fall From Grace", this documents SCAR's trademark of forefront, industrial strength design. Elsewhere expect a physical rewind to the jungle homeland on "Return To Swerve" and prepare to be whisked off into snare and synth wonderland on "Your Move". Faultlessly rooted D&B futurism, nothing more, nothing less.

Review: Survival and Script's project has developed such serious momentum over the last 18 months, for many SCAR is now bigger than their individual personas. This four-track return to Metalheadz is a fine example; "Better Than Me" is all about the eerie cries and moans laced over rattlesnake beats and distinctive Headz motifs on the fills. "Runaway" switches the cries and moans to breathy calls and spine-melting pads while "Shadows" is one of the duo's first full vocal tracks... And, unlike many vocal cuts, it loses none of its full strength punch in any way. The real highlight, though, is "Liar". The climax session of the EP, the bass is so rugged and metallic you could actually make a bullet proof jacket out of it. Uncompromising.
