Scythian - To Those Who Stand Against Us... (CD)

SCYTHIAN's debut full-length To Those Who Stand Against Us... is a ferocious tour de force presenting SCYTHIAN's unique brand of Metal; malicious, down-tuned riffs that could have been recorded by Sodom in the mid-80's melt into truly magnificent choir-backed passages reminiscent of Hammerheart-era BATHORY; only to collapse into a frenzied blasting orgy of war, death and desolation, emerging once again from the chaos with some of the most virtuose guitar solos ever to be heard on a Metal recording. Enshrined in a face-melting production courtesy of Leon Macey (MITHRAS) that perfectly captures the sonic madness as it happens, "To Those Who Stand Against Us..." is one of the strongest debut albums in recent years and proves that SCYTHIAN are truly a force to be reckoned with.
