Background
Scratch the Surface is the third studio album by the American hardcore punk band Sick of It All, released on October 18, 1994, by East West Records. It was the band's first album with bassist Craig Setari. Sick of It All self-produced the album and recorded it with engineer Tom Soares at Normandy Sound in Warren, Rhode Island. In writing the album, Sick of It All pursued a darker and heavier sound than that of their previous releases, which vocalist Lou Koller attributed to accusations of the band selling out following their move to East West, whilst drawing influence from a variety of heavy metal, speed metal, Oi! and hardcore bands.
