Canada’s favourite purveyors of folk/prog metal, Scythia are proud to unleash to fans their latest single and the title track from their upcoming EP ‘For The Bear’ on Decibel Magazine’s Deciblog at the following location here.
“With the advent of the first snowfall, folk metallers begin to think about donning their furs and drinking warm mead in warm great halls. Scythia’s new single that pays homage to this event as well as our beloved mascot, the bear. We are stoked to learn that Decibel magazine will be premiering this track as it just does justice to the evolution of our sound and what we have to offer fans and new listeners.” comments Scythia guitarist / vocalist Dave Khan.
This is Scythia third release in three years to follow up 2011’s ‘…Of Exile’ and 2010’s ‘…Of War’ albums. The EP is a short, but sweet seven-track adventure that departs from the orchestration and central concept of its predecessors, instead representing a leaner, faster, sharper folk metal machine.
In addition to the EP’s release on September 25, 2012, the folk warriors have announced they will be going across Canada for their ‘For The Bear Tour’ that will kick off at their EP launch show in Vancouver, BC on Sept 26th at the Rickshaw Theater and will see the band venture east with a performance at Noctis Metal Fest on Sept 29th alongside such names as Venom andAgalloch and heading as far as Montreal, QC and back west over the month long tour.
