With Andy LaPlegua seemingly collecting metal musicians like trump cards, it was only a matter of time before the well-publicised allegiance with the outlandish Limp Bizkit/Big Dumb Face axe-man bore its fruit; the resulting ‘re-do’ of gig-favourite ‘Scarred,’ and its plethora of DJ-friendly overkill will no push Combichrist further into the mainstream.
Borland’s presence doesn’t so much as just feature, it gives ‘Scarred’ the much needed facelift that it has been craving since it was first unleashed on ‘Today We Are All Demons,’ back in 2008, giving it that extra kick in the ass that was required to bring the sound closer to the Combi live experience.
