One of my favorite bands. I've listened to this album many, many times -- high time I actually paid for it.
Favorite track: Open Steppe....

Scythian's debut recalls some of the first death metal albums I heard as a young tyke. This is just superb all the way through and leaves a big impression. 'To Those...' will be played for many years to come.
Favorite track: Ares Guide My Blade.

about
Scythian's debut record "To those who Stand Against Us..." received critical acclaim in the global metal underground in 2009 and was featured in major publications including Terrorizer, Metal Hammer and Zero Tolerance as well as countless DIY zines. It gave the band their first taste of international recognition, and allowed them to break free of the limited UK scene.
Stylistically, this album pays tribute to Bathory, Sodom and Morbid Angel making for a bizarre fusion of death, thrash and black metal: bulldozing 4/4 beats, obscure and astral sounding riffs, penetrating death metal vocals, choirs, blistering solos and progressive song-structures, without being contrived or overdone. "To Those..." is the young and ambitious effort of a fiercely individual band, who continue to walk their own path and develop their own idiosyncratic sound.
Scythian signed a two-album deal with Hell's Headbangers Records in late 2014. The first British band to be on their permanent roster.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Contempt, War and Damnation
by SLAUGHTBBATHsupported by 82 fans who also own “To Those Who Stand Against Us...”
Slaughtbbath are simply the finest example of Chile's underground. They continue to be the staunch firebrand of their country's rich history. Such a great compilation of their work.

With hearts toward none
by Mgłasupported by 82 fans who also own “To Those Who Stand Against Us...”
This is, in my opinion, Mgła's ("Migwah's") best work, projecting a loathing of Life so feverish that it becomes palpable.
