"Conquest is our everlasting purpose. For what could be more glorious than the joy
of destroying our enemies and standing side by side with those we call our brothers?
Victory or glorious death! That is the ethic of Scythian. Either we succeed in our
endeavours... or pay for failure with our lives. For years we have honed our craft
in secret, forging musical weapons to carry us through the battle to come"
Whelped on the teachings of Bathory and Sodom, Scythian formed in C.E. 2004, following
the fated meetings of A. Satyrus and J. Volgard... In brotherhood, the visionary and the
master-craftsman were unified, working tirelessly towards an individual musical identity
which was not only true to them but to the heroes who had first inspired them to take up
arms and march on the world. Cursed in the beginning by defeat and dishonour, the pair
would find strength, symbolic purposes and a stanch ally in S. Vrath, a warlord of some small
renown who would lead the three across bloodied fields to undiscovered lands and the
recording of their first demo: "Suffering to the Conquered".
Though successful raiding and brutal skirmishing has earned them spoils, wealth and land,
ambition and lust for power has cast their eyes beyond the open steppe... The world
becomes their battlefield and above it, the planes, the stars and the high halls of the
gods. Fear their coming of their armies, for the omens have foretold the arrival like
a plague upon the wind. Ashes shall fall as rain from the skies as they pass and the hallowed
temples of this world shall be as blackened husks, charred beyond recognition.
Thousands strong ride from distant horizons, a prayer to slaughter on their lips.
