Massive Scar Era Release New Single "School Girls" with Entheos' Chaney Crabb

Egyptian/Canadian metal act Massive Scar Era, the project led by Cherine Amr, has released a brand new single titled “School Girls”. The song is a collaboration between Massive Scar Era and Entheos’ lead vocalist Chaney Crabb.

The track comes from the band’s forthcoming EP, Assyad, is set to drop in October 25th, 2024. In a press release announcing the EP, Amr stated the following:

“‘School Girls’ represents a dialogue between the Mu’allima (teacher) spirit, brought to life by Chaney’s voice, and the outside world. The chorus is adapted from the traditional Zar song “Banat el Madrassa," reflecting a significant era in Egyptian society and feminism. It highlights the pursuit of higher education by middle and upper-class women in the 1950s, symbolizing their aspirations and empowerment. The Mu’allima serves as both a guide within the female Zar realm and a social archetype.”

"I believe this EP will be a journey that and I think it will resonate with those who appreciate concept albums and are drawn to non-mainstream metal music. In the world of Zar, what you are curious about also becomes curious about you. Each song on this EP is inspired by a specific Zar spirit, and I’m eager to see how each listener connects with the EP, as I’m sure everyone will be drawn to different songs in their own unique way.”
