About Us
SHOCK ROCK (from the shenandoah valley)
Scarecrow's Curse is a horror themed Shock Rock band from Winchester, Virginia. Formed in 2005 by front man and original songwriter, Vermin, the band has performed hundreds of shows and has produced several demos and EP's over the years. In May of 2023, Scarecrow's Curse finally released it's self-recorded, self-produced, self-titled full length debut album. Plans for a follow up album (to be titled as "Villains") is said to be released in the late summer or early fall of 2024.
The music has been described as an "interesting blend" of early Misfits-style Horror Punk, Doom Metal, and Paul DiAnno era Iron Maiden (with a splash of Twisted Sister). The live performances take influence from acts such as Impaler, Alice Cooper, GWAR and the 19th Century French horror theatrics of Le Grand Guignol.
With the heavy use of stage blood, mock executions, atmosphere, high energy/fast paced heavy metal music, and a punk attitude, Scarecrow's Curse brings a highly entertaining performance to every venue it occupies.
