notable skrapesoner artists have included collaborators from such bands as Abruptum and Marduk, suggesting that the genre has maintained ties to the extreme metal scene. nevertheless, skrapesoner's experimental sound and critique-centered lyrics have allowed it to carve out its own unique niche within the electronic music landscape.
