BAND BIO

Originally formed in Las Vegas, NV, Hidden Scars Debut Performance was  at The House of Blues, Las Vegas in front of a packed house. From that point forward the band quickly released an EP/Demo and began embarking on small tours and opening for Major Artists such as The 69 Eyes, MXMS, and Direct Support for Flotsam and Jetsam at The Whiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood.

Hidden Scars embarked on a single Southwest Mini-Tour, covering 7 dates between SoCal, Arizona, and Southern Nevada. They also completed an East Coast Tour of about the same caliber, playing Philadelphia, Baltimore, Rhode Island, D.C., to name a few.

Hidden Scars fan base spans Worldwide thanks to Social Media, but it’s core fan base was in their local market of Las Vegas until HS founder decided to move to Missoula, MT in light of the pandemic to record and produce in isolation and eventually launch the band once again.

Hidden Scars blends elements of Rock, Metal, Goth, Prog, Industrial, and other forms of Electronic Music. Their live performances have been known to be very Dark, Visceral, Theatrical, and Visual, often times taking on a very Sci-Fi, Horror Aesthetic. The bands’ message and delivery is intended to remind the listener to accept their own humanity and mortality, and never be afraid or ashamed to face your demons and reveal your own Hidden Scars to the rest of the World.

Hidden Scars founder Joel Floyd West is currently in the studio working on brand new material, and will release a handful of new singles over the course of 2022, ranging in diverse fusion of styles and textures.

A needle incident in 2016 that nearly resulted in his right arm being amputated left a huge Scar on his arm that was later HIDDEN by a Tattoo that represents his Love for Music. JFW: "I don't shame anyone for their choices if they don't harm anyone else. I've faced consequences for my actions and hold no regrets." Abusive Relationships, multiple sex partners, nights in jail, brushes with Death, and just about every illegal drug you can think of is all part of the life JFW lived and got out of his system at an early age. JFW: "I lived the Rockstar lifestyle before EARNING the title of Rockstar" Constantly moving, playing many roles in many short-lived bands and touring the States opening for Big Names in every City in every State, West gained experience and saw the Good, Bad, and the Ugly side of the Music Biz early on in his career. JFW: "I couldn't settle in one place, I STILL can't! I'm just lucky I lived to tell the story!" Today, West indeed has a lot of Scars, internal and external. JFW: "I formed (HS) as a Project to carve my skills as an Artist and send an important message to anyone who may be reluctant to see their Dark Side and Face Their Demons". HS’ songs cover Depression, Suicide, and Abuse (West was jailed on False Domestic Charges). JFW: "I never really thought it would turn into a real band when I manifested the idea but people connected to the music, and before you know I was headlining the House of Blues with a full band for a packed show at The House Of Blues for our Debut, and AGAIN for our 1 Year!". West continues to reinforce HS' message by circulating petitions for just causes (like creating penalties for False Domestic claims), focusing on his own Health and working in his very own Recording Studio as a self-produced Artist. JFW: "I continue to learn and grow every day. I had my time with drugs and partying and it was GREAT, HAHA! It was also F*cked up! I wouldn't change a thing, but it's time to reach HIGHER." West prides himself as sort of a spokeman for Mental Health (naming Music as his Therapy) and for Men in Abusive Relationships. JFW: "It's VERY difficult for a man to admit he's an abuse victim. We've been brainwashed by Society to portray this Macho-Man stereo-type but the truth is Abuse is Abuse." He urges his listeners to NEVER be ashamed of the Hurt within them, to face and DEFEAT their Inner Demons through Art and Self-Expression, and to Reveal their Hidden Scars to the World. #cybermetal, gothicmetal, industrialmetal, numetal, modernhardrock, deathrock, newsingle, newmusic2021, newreleases, spotifymetal, youtubemusic, amazonmusic, streamingmusic, gothrock, nineinchnails, robzombie, korn, marilynmanson, rammstein, orgy, skinnypuppy, slipknot, motionlessinwhite, wednesday13, cradleoffilth industrial metal,industrial mix,nu metal,electronic metal,aim to head mix,nu metal playlist,underground metal music,post grunge music,industrial metal mix,industrial metal playlist,heavy metal mix,dark metal music,heavy metal riffs,metal electro mix,metal electro music,metal mix 2020,doom music mix,cyber goth girl,baby bat days,aim to head,industrial metal song,industrial metal bands,best cyberpunk songs,best cybergoth songs,what is cybergoth,what is cyberpunk,cybergoth type music,new retro wave,metal music,metal mix,metal playlist,numetal mix,grunge metal,grunge music,grunge mix,death metal,metal electro,metalstep music,metalstep mix,aggressive music heavy metal,official video,we all made metal,roadrunner records (record label),the sin and the sentence,the black dahlia murders,disturbed no more rock,slamming brutal death metal,mastodon official video,mastodon music video,symphonic metal mix,symphonic metal playlist,epic metal songs,in this moment,drop dead cynical,in mourning colossus,the bleeding vail,trivium (musical group),guitar (musical instrument),metalcore (musical genre),melodic death metal,cult of madness motion graphics,after effects tutorial,motion graphics tutorial,after effects,sonduckfilm tutorial,after effects motion graphics,motion design,motion graphics in after effects,after effects tutorial motion graphics,motion graphics techniques,after effects techniques,motion graphics after effects,how to do motion graphics,4 great motion graphics,after effects
