Scythia Announce Show Date w/ Korpiklaani & Arkona – Dec 3rd In Vancouver @ Rickshaw Theatre
Scythia has announced they will be opening for Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani and Russian pagan metal band Arkona on December 3rd in Vancouver, BC at The Rickshaw Theatre as part of the “UKON WACKA North American Tour”.
“Scythia is both stoked and honoured to play with folk metal’s heavyweights such as Korpiklaani and Arkona. This night will be a fusion of European and North American interpretations of this genre and it will provide a very enticing reason to come out and rock hard.” commented Scythia vocalist and guitarist Dave Khan.
Scythia will also be headlining Nerd Fest this weekend in Vancouver on Saturday, November 19th and have also had their latest album “…Of Exile” released on September 23rd recently conquer the #1 spot on the Top 20 Canadian Loud Charts for October 2011.

About Scythia: Formed in the latter half of 2008, Scythia is a five piece band that combines haunting folk melodies (emphasized by keyboards and oboe) with the driving force of modern progressive metal to form a raw and powerful sound that is their own. Scythia is not your older brother’s metal band. Unless that band had an oboe of death, echoes of thunder, and a knack for writing folk metal tunes.
So what is Scythia?
Taking its name from vocalist/guitarist Dave Khan’s infatuation with a painting of Nordic/Russian warriors riding bears while brandishing swords, Scythia not only “gives the painting musical significance,” but it is also “the name of an ancient empire spanning from the Caucasus through Russia, and even into eastern Scandinavia. The melodies used in our music have a very ancient, sometimes medieval sound, so I wanted to attribute them to an ancient civilization,” says Khan.
In 2010, Scythia released its debut, “…Of War” (originally with violin) which was produced by Shaun Thingvold who has engineered on projects with SYL, Fear Factory, Darkest Hour and many more. Now, following some line-up changes, Scythia will be releasing its second album “…Of Exile”, again produced by Shaun Thingvold September 23, 2011.

In just a couple of years these Western Canadian folk/Power Metallions have made quite a name for themselves. A pair of high quality releases some heavy gigging and a good attitude have Scythia surging towards the top of the heap.
