New Album ‘… Of Conquest’ Hits Stores Next Week on Tuesday, February 25th!
“Just a few weeks into 2014 and we already have an album that’s sure to reach some Top 10 lists by year’s end. …Of Conquest is simply spectacular.” – Pittsburgh Music Magazine
“Grab a mug of your finest ale and sit down and listen to these musical barbarians! You’ll be entirely glad you did! “…Of Conquest” is another great album that kick starts 2014 and blasts down all expectations!” – HeadbangorGTFO.com
“‘…Of Conquest’ is the band’s third full-length in unsigned-band-ville, yet it’s of the utmost sonic quality… if the Alestorm/Swashbuckle crew latches on to these Canucks, they shouldn’t remain an unsigned being for long.” – DeadRhetoric.com
SCYTHIA’s upcoming album, …Of Conquest, hits stores in exactly one week on February 25, 2014. You can pre-order …Of Conquest now at http://scythia.bandcamp.com/releases.
