QUICK UPDATE - April 26th
Right, just a quick update here - we have all six songs recorded for the new album, and now we are doin the all important mixing. On the gigging front, we'd like to thank Metallitia for the gig in the Temple Bar Music Centre on the 17th April - Great Night!! We'd like to thank Taz & James of Moshpit for the Moshfest Gig - Great day 2 nights - thanks to all the other bands too for making the friday and saturday a mad one! (I will link all those bands in the links section). I will be sticking up photos of our days in the studio soon enough - also I forgot to mention, we have a couple recordings of our gigs we did in Belfast, Dublin and Cork and we've decided to put all the best parts of each gig down onto one cd and have a live album! So both the new cd and the live cd should be ready in four weeks.

QUICK NEWS UPDATE
Well its been ages since I updated the site but anyway, here's what has briefly happened since the last time. The Glenside Metal Meeting was a good auld laugh. We were 3rd on the bill so we finished early and since we had a gig the next night in Monaghan, we had to left at about eight. We enjoyed it anyways and it was great to meet some heads from MetalIreland. Monaghan was great - Halloween and we all got pissed before we went on!! Great night, and great laugh had with fellow Drogheda band Carraig!! Thanks to Marty and Stephen from Writhe for the gig - Cheers!! Temple Bar Music Centre followed this!! We got a great live recording of this gig which hopefully I'll have up here to download soon, or ye can email for a copy of it (includes Black Sabbath Medley). Had a few gigs in the Temple too, in Dublin, cheers Sam and Carl (Atomic Drop) for the gigs - we'll see yiz in December. Our next two gigs, the 20th and 21st of December are our last before we head into the studio to record our second album. So for the last while, we've been getting down to the grind stone and writing some tunes!! The next release will probably contain 6 tracks - this time we will have artwork done for the cover!! Well that sums it up really - cheers, and thanks for visiting the website!!!

ROSETTA, BELFAST - 27th SEPT.
We headlined a gig in the Rosetta, Belfast with Inner Peace Project and Hexxed. It was our first time seeing Hexxed live and speaking for myself, they blew me away. Excellent band. Hope to get them down to Drogheda for a gig or two. Andy, cheers for the great sound that you always achieve. Thanks to all the mad northern metalheads up banging away for our set. YOU FUCKIN RULE!!! Thanks to Ronan for the transport. And last but not least, Mr. Magners, thanks for the support and keepin us all amused!!! haha!!! Cheers Ritchie.

These songs were included in our live set in Belfast at the Rosetta which we recorded. The recording will be available soon to download in the Multimedia section.


DUBLIN, CORK AND BELFAST
9th August - Fibbers, Dublin:
Support came from Black Art Principle who played a stormer of a set, even though they had problems with their amps before playing. Nice one lads!! We got a good reception from the Fibbers crowd, especially towards the end of the set as we played Revelations (Maiden) and a medley of Black Sabbath songs that lasted 20 mins. Cheers Sam for organising the night.
10th August - Fred Zeppelins, Cork:
We headed down to Cork with the Black Art boys to play Freds. We all really enjoyed this night. The turn up wasn't the best, but we had a laugh with the monaghan boyos. Good to meet Snare and co. Thanks to Freds for the great night.
11th August - Rosetta, Belfast:
The lineup for this gig was Condemned, Scavenger, Aftermath, Linus, Inner Peace Project. All these bands were great. Condemned were impressive as usual. We played a set that contained two new songs we had just wrote. We also recorded the gig on mini-disc. Sounds well!!! The night overall? great sound, great bands, great venue, great night. There's a review of the gig in the reviews section. Check it out here. Cheers Andy for the gig. We hope we can play there again real soon.

GARDAI ATTEMPT TO STOP SCAVENGER GIG (Jun 02)
June 14th, McHughs, Drogheda - Support band Fallen played Metallica and Slayer covers such as Fade to Black and Master of Puppets to South of Heaven and Raining Blood. Cheers to Fallen for playing a great gig. Scavenger got interrupted at the start of their set when the Gardai warned the owner of McHughs that there was a lot of under age drinking going on and that it must be stopped. The pub had to be evacuated so that all people could then be asked for id when coming back in. Fortunately, most people got back in and we're grateful for those people who stood in the rain and came back and didn't piss off. Sorry to all the other guys who didn't get in. We'll make it up to you. We're trying to book the Drogheda Arts Centre (who won't let us play there still!!), so when we do we'll let you know and we'll destroy the fucking place. Thanks again to everyone who came and thanks to Ritchie for the great sound he gave us on the night.

Some pages are still being constructed so you'll have to bear with us. Thanks for visiting!!!!


DROGHEDA GIG REVIEW (Apr 02)
Well we did another gig in McHughs, Drogheda and it went down really well. Support came from a band called Empathy - local band - they really got the crowd going with covers from Rage Against The Machine and Slipknot. They stuck five of their own songs into their set, which were pretty catchy. We tried a new cover by Carcass called Death Certificate which we thought went down well. Thanks to Empathy for the support.


METAL NIGHT AT GASWORKS (Mar 02)
We headlined a night at the Gasworks, Dublin on March 21st. The supporting acts were Fisted Sister and Primal Dawn. Even though the gig got delayed and was behind time, a great night was had, with Primal Dawn (due to be recording soon) opening the night, followed by Fisted Sister, and then us. Thanks again to Primal Dawn and Fisted Sister for keeping METAL alive and well!!


OZZY/RANDY RHOADS TRIBUTE (Mar 02)
We recently just supported a band called 'Fisted Sister' in Eammon Dorans, Temple Bar, Dublin on March 18th. Fisted Sister played tribute to Ozzy/Randy Rhoads in their first part of their set and then churned out some old 80's metal classics for their second part of their set. It was great!!


DROGHEDA GIG PHOTOS (Feb 02)
Photos from our gig in McHughs, Drogheda can be seen in the Photos section. This was the night we launched our debut album in our home town. We were supported by Carraig - another local band from Drogheda, who also have a new recording just out (I'll get the link for that soon!!).


DEBUT ALBUM (Dec 01)
We have just recently recorded our debut album and are in the process of getting it ready to be released. Scavenger features ex-members from the band Disorder: Peter Dunne (Vocals), Niall Cooney (Bass), Noel Maher (Guitars), and an ex-member from the band Cisco Pike: Johnny Kerr (Drums). Formed in late September, we have been working on our debut album for the past 3 months and now we're finished.
Fatdog Studios, Duleek, Co. Meath was the location where we recorded the CD. Consisting of eight tracks, the album brings together many of our influences, including bands like Megadeth, Carcass, At The Gates, Iron Maiden, Death and many more.
Simply titled 'Scavenger', the album will be available in Sound Cellar, Dublin or you can email us or phone us to order a copy (Price = €10)
