Simply send an email to shagtai@aol.com with information concerning quantity, name, and address. Each cd is ten dollars. Support a band that is playing the music that you want to hear.

A parting shot from the Bastard Child: "Though I may be leaving, the love for metal will always stay. My love for SCARAB, no matter where I'm at, and no matter how long, will never die. I will return. In my resurrection, I will bring forth drum beats from beyond and screams from the future. SCARAB will be missed, Orion is always loved, and the world has no fucking clue of what is to come when the new SCARAB album is finally released. Sorry for the wait, but the wait will be well worth the hell we're going to bring. Signing off, the BASTARD CHILD ... fuck everyone who doesn't believe; we are for goddamn REAL."

Shagtai speaking: "It seems that there has been a bit of confusion and unwarranted publicity for Scarab. I was checking Teufelstomb.com out for any news about album releases, and there were some comments made in the forum that were attributed to me. I know we have been trashed on there quite a bit, but let me assure everyone that I have not posted in the forum in months. Therefore, I think it is only fair that my name and addresses should be removed from the context that they were placed in because the comments made by Teufel were totally incorrect. I may not understand the whole IP business, but I live on a college campus, and to the best of my knowledge, that could have been anyone from the college posting. Also, I have changed rooms since the last time I posted, so whoever is living in my old room now could be responsible. Quite a few people here listen to Scarab, and I did tell some of them about teufelstomb in the past. AT any rate, I do not want any angry emails from disgruntled people in the forum, so I think it would be in everyone's best interest if my name and addresses were striken from the forum, or at the very least, some serious corrections are made. Later..."
Hmmmmmmm......the masses seem to have spoken (although everyone knows who the real assholes are behind the lies). Little does the public know what is in store........
It's been a long time since this site has been updated, and SCARAB sincerely apologizes. The new album has been put on hold indefinitely (although there have been some demos that have been recorded that could possibly surface), but whenever any new developments arise, they will be posted here immediately. In other news, SCARAB mp3s are currently available on napster, so be sure and check them out. SCARAB has been getting some acclaim through various death metal websites, but a question has arisen that could change the entire direction of the band: Is the very bandname SCARAB acceptable? There have been some complaints about it, and the band would appreciate any feedback possible. As the music and lyrical content do deal with Egyptian themes, a change of the band name would be a major transition. Our next album, however, is planned to branch out and be more diverse, both lyrically and musically. So this question seems to be of vital importance, although the band is satisfied with with their current moniker. We hope to get a poll up soon so that the legion can voice their opinions upon this matter, but until then, just send an email with any thoughts or suggestions as to a new name. Expect many more updates to this site very soon, though, so keep yourself informed. Later, Legion
Chuckorgans, ye the legion! Daily reports are coming in about progress on the new SCARAB album, and by all accounts it the beast from beyond. The time for SCARAB is now, and it is do or die. SCARAB wishes to thank the legion for their continued support. A near complete songlist has been made public, and here it is:
Greetings, SCARAB legion! Many days have passed since this website has been updated, but now there is important SCARAB news that must be announced. First, some news on the Bastard Child - he has returned! Due to an extensive illness, the Bastard Child was forced to forsake his Air Force duties and return home to continue his work in SCARAB. The experience did leave a lasting impact on both the band and the Bastard Child, but perhaps the greatest asset to arise from his absence is the Bastard Child's creation of several new SCARAB songs - namely the soon-to-be classic "Zombie Hunter." The Bastard Child wishes his fans well, and stated that he is "fucking pissed off" and ready to create the first brutal album of a new millenium. The band is already hard at work on the new album, and several songs are near completion. A studio date has not yet been set, however. Song titles that have been confirmed are "Chewing on Stumps," "The Living Autopsy," "Under The Floor," and "Zombie Hunter." The band is excited to be back together and are currently under negotiations with a record label in California whose name has yet to be released. As soon as more SCARAB news becomes available it will be found here first, so keep your eyes peeled (literally).
Official press release from SCARAB: "Grave Robber speaking. At 5:45 this morning, the Bastard Child departed. This is a really fucked up time not only for the band but personally as well. The band will go on, but we are such a tight unit both as friends and musicians that all this shit just seems totally wrong. He is truly an original, one of the greatest singers / songwriters / musicians that I have ever heard. The Consumer and I know that the band will be reunited, but the goddamn future seems like such a long way off. SCARAB legion, keep the Bastard Child in your thoughts because the goddamn government is making the man go without metal, his life's sustenance, for at least six weeks (and probably a lot longer than that). It's fucking unfair, but once the crossroads had been reached, it was something that had to be done, and while it sux to everyone that knows him, we know he is doing what is best for him at this juncture, and so we wish him the best. Whenever any news is heard from him, it will be immediately posted on this site so that everyone will know what's going down. His return is eagerly awaited by all, not just for his formidable music talent, but also because his just might be the coolest motherfucker alive on the fucking planet. If you're reading this, B.C., kick some goddamn ass and then get back where you belong - with the band, your woman, and the lifestyle that makes you a goddamn rock star. We'll be seeing you, JDawg."
SCARAB has now tentatively been scheduled to enter the studio in mid January with hopes for a early February release date for their second album, which has yet to be titled. "Plans have been pushed back due to the Bastard Child's Air Force obligations, and they could be pushed back further yet, but right now we're working hard on the material and have about four songs that are ready to go. If it takes a little longer to get the material out, it's only because we want to do it right and not half-assed," stated the Grave Robber in the band's Monday press release. The band had no comment on line-up changes about the bass playing duties. "Solby tunwars doncrivel putes," was the mysterious reply from the Consumer. Stay tuned, SCARAB legion.
SCARAB's self-titled debut demo has been finished and is now available. For information concerning orders, please send an E-mail to the address on your screen. Song titles include, "Spawned At Dawn," "The Infested Obelisk," and the bonus track, "Beaten With A Mattock." Scarab has also begun writings songs for a second album, and the band is projected to enter the studio in late Decemer, 1999 - January 2000. Tentative song titles include, "Chewing On Stumps," "Addicted To Vomit," "The Living Autopsy," "Wrongfully Exhumed," and "Perverted Predisposition." Scarab is currently planning some tour dates in the East Tennessee area (for booking, send an E-mail). Again, Scarab is an UNSIGNED band looking for a label willing to invest in the future of death metal. All inquiries welcome.
