Scars of Life are an American nu metal band from Pompano Beach, Florida.

History

[edit]

Scars of Life were formed in Pompano Beach in 1999 originally as a heavy metal band called Confined. However, the original band members weren't happy with their style, so they underwent a complete change.[2] Their debut album Mute was released in January 2002, followed by What We Reflect in 2005.

They gained traction partially through a deal made in 2002 allowing UFC to use their music.[1]

In 2011, the band announced their intention to continue with Kyle Shapiro, their former lead singer. They recorded a new album, which was released in 2013 under the title A Heart Still Beats.[3] In May 2014, the musicians announced the band's second breakup on their Facebook page.

The band again returned in 2024, releasing the single "Lost in Your Arms" in July 2025.[4]
