The result is the amazing new album – ‘Regenerate’. The band have constantly developed and honed their craft and the band are in comfortable in their darker and heavier guise, with elements of Asking Alexandria, In This Moment and Bullet for My Valentine shining through opening up all new possibilities for the band.

The new material is harder, heavier, faster but still driven by the anthemic hooks that have kept this band at the forefront of the UK modern metal scene. Other bands she has performed include FuZion and Class Act. Profile: Lead singer in the hard rock/metal band Skarlett Riot born c.
With the ink still drying on their contracts the four-piece, led by the unique and passionate vocals of Skarlett, headed back in to the studio to begin work on their hugely anticipated second album. Skarlett (2) Real Name: Chloe Drinkwater. Signing deals with TKO Agency and The Artery Foundation management were just the beginning for this highly rated act – soon they had signed a world-wide record deal with the pro-active and forward thinking Swedish label Despotz Records. Give me that over ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ any day.After the success of their ‘Sentience’ EP, hard-hitting UK quartet Skarlett Riot soon began to attract interest from far and wide. A personal collection of finely crafted songs featuring some killer hooks that holds a mirror up to the times we live in and offers hope to the hopeless, humanity to the suffering. (I mean, how many versions of ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ does the World actually need?) What is certain, is that Skarlett Riot’s third album is one they can be rightfully proud of. Whether their third album will propel them to the dizzying heights as the aforementioned acts is uncertain, and that’s probably a good thing. “This is who I am/ I’m sentient like you/ I am only human”.
Skarlett Riot releases a new music video for the song ‘Underwater‘ and releases it as a single today, July 9th.
The final word really ought to go to final track Human, a timely reminder of the similarities we all share set to a pulsating metalcore backdrop of gnashing guitars. After all the great response for the third and latest album ‘Invicta’, the hard-hitting UK quartet Skarlett Riot reinforced their interest from far and wide. Punching like a frenzied prize fighter one minute on the likes of single Stronger and Cut the Ties, delving the depths of human experience the next on the delicate acoustic Into Pieces, Invicta is an album of contrasts that still works as a cohesive whole. Black Cloud tackles the prescient issue of depression, the emo-inflected Under Water – perhaps the most complex and finely crafted song on display – showcases a tender beating heart at the centre of all the bludgeon before giving way to a gorgeous hook of a chorus and a delicate string and keys outro. Gravity follows, a bombastic howl into the void, the soaring vocals of singer Chloe ‘Skarlett’ Drinkwater engaged in a free-fall spiral towards oblivion with the gruff death growls of the dirty backing vox.Īfter what’s been an intense, difficult year for so many, you get a feeling that Invicta is an intensely personal release.
Not that they were exactly bad before (on 2017’s ‘Regeneration’), it’s just that from the moment the first strains of pile driver opener Breaking the Habit set the scene you know this is the sound of a heavier, harder, more focussed Skarlett Riot. Now, just to get one thing straight no one’s suggesting that Scunthorpe’s Skarlett Riot are destined to headline Download, sell out stadiums, or show up with an extravagantly bouncy bouffant planted on top of their heads anytime soon, but there’s little doubt that third album Invicta is a huge step forward for the four-piece. If you don’t believe me, may I present Bon Jovi’s ‘Slippery When Wet’, Green Day’s ‘Dookie’, and even ‘Masters of Puppets’. In pre-internet days when attention spans were longer than a, y’know, super long thing, and a career in the music industry could build with almost glacial slowness, it used to be a truism that – having survived the machinations of the notoriously ‘difficult’ second album – the third album was a chance to propel a hitherto small-time artist to the big time. FFO: Bullet for my Valentine, Asking Alexandria, In this Moment.
