EVIL SCARECROW release new single ‘Nuclear Fallout Machine Sentience’ on 17th November,

Do you ever worry about how many services are running on outdated software? Does the deployment of patches keep you awake at night? Do you feel dread that your IT department have become complacent about upgrades? What has been forgotten… in the depths?
 
Nuclear Fallout Machine Sentience is the ludicrous horror of a world where nuclear submarines running on “Windows Vista” have gone inevitably mad and attempted to destroy humanity completely, all because someone in the IT department was too lazy to upgrade them.
 
Many uncounted years have passed since the world was consumed in fire and water. Now the lost tribes of humanity drift across the hot dunes, driven to despair and savagery in the battle for survival. But you seek something greater, a higher purpose. 
 
Your quest takes you through the ravaged wastelands of hollowed-out cities, the endless deserts of civilisation’s demise, until at last you come upon a scrap metropolis, rising from the ground like a great metal god. The entrance is guarded by the huge effigy of a crucified Scarecrow, and a cloud of black crows scatters from its up-raised arms, cawing noisily to herald your approach. As you enter the city walls you begin to hear another sound, a tribal rhythm that calls to something deep inside you. You follow as it grows louder and louder. 
 
You find yourself inside a vast amphitheatre. Thousands of people move in unison, their hands raised in horn symbols towards four figures who stand elevated on a dais before them. The gathered crowd are dressed in strange armour made from scavenged parts – here a robot crafted from an air conditioning unit, there a car door turned into a crab carapace. The music is so loud now that it fills your mind, blasting from the great black towers that stand on either side of the stage. As you watch and listen, you find you cannot help but dance, your body driven by an urge as ancient as time itself. You don’t understand what’s happening, but you feel something you haven’t felt for a long time. You’re having… fun…

Nuclear Fallout Machine Sentience was recorded, mixed and mastered with Russ Russell at The Parlour Studios.
 
Evil Scarecrow’s live show has been captivating, delighting and surprising audiences for many years. From the local pub to the main stage at Bloodstock Festival, it has grown bigger, louder and sillier with each year of success. More than just a metal gig, an Evil Scarecrow show is a performance, a piece of bizarre rock theatre unlike any you’ve seen before. 
 
Famous for their ‘Blue Peter’ props, gregarious characters and catchy metal anthems, the band have gone from strength to strength. As well as regularly touring big venues across the UK, they’ve entertained fans at HRH Road Trip in Ibiza, Wacken Festival in Germany, and Summer Breeze Festival in Bavaria. 
 
Everywhere they play, their cult grows – and their fans are dedicated and enthusiastic. It’s not an Evil Scarecrow crowd without a few cardboard robots, foam crabs and other hilarious homemade props raised aloft. Crowd participation is just as important as what the band does on-stage, and the whole experience is a truly immersive one that will challenge even the most cynical to not join in. 
 
In 2024 the band will release their as-yet-untitled 5th studio album and tour their new show “The Krakhen Wakes”, playing a mix of new tracks and fan favourites from their full catalogue.
