Fuel up, start your engines and get ready to “Power Through”! The debut album from the classic skate punk metal act SCARLATA, is a guitar driven force to be reckoned with.
“The ‘Power Through’ album is a compilation of songs created between 2017-2021. I am very ecstatic (and relieved) to finally be sharing this self-produced debut album with the music world. This album is dedicated to inspire the listener to discover their craft and live out their passions!”
Located in Boulder, Colorado, SCARLATA, a self-taught instrumentalist, produces dynamic tracks that show off a wealth of heavy and soaring styles. Song writing began in earnest back in 2016 and the summer of 2020 saw the release of the debut EP Metal-Baby fully self-produced. Predominantly instrumental, the new album delivers both the hard-hitting and fast-paced, as well as soaring ballad elements. “Ch’i Ling’s Spell” kicks off “Power Through” diving into complex guitar melodies and energetic rhythms. A tranquil mood manifests in the opening of “Fruition of Justice,” before exploding into heavy distortion. The title track is a fusion of melodic guitars, distortion and experimentation. The changing pace produces a darker sound, showing off further versatility of SCARLATA’s creativity.
“Power Through” combines the thrill and impact of punk, with groove rhythms and intricate melodies; it’s an energising record. SCARLATA seeks to inspire the listener towards their own passions and inner callings, “Power Through” is an epic passion project.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
