A Thousand Scars

This is the debut full-length solo release by the longtime Saviour Machine frontman written together with his brother Jeff Clayton, Adam Pederson, Ludo Caanen and Twan Bakker. All lyrics written by Eric Clayton and music performed by 'The Nine' (five Dutch musicians), produced and mixed by Devon Graves (Psychotic Waltz).
Following his triumphant return as a performer in 2018 with Eric Clayton And The Nine, the voice and creative mind of Saviour Machine reports back with a personal and gripping album. 'A Thousand Scars' contains 15 songs running over 79 minutes, all crafted around biographical personal lyrics. It's an intense and personal frail statement depicting the vocalist's journey, struggles and battles since he was diagnosed with a progressive form of Barrett's Esophagus, making him vanish out of the spotlights for over a decade. His descend into paranoia and his rebirth, musically and personally, are captured on this album.
It is an intimate journey of the wounds that shape us and recreate us.
