:: ::
:: It's a demo. It's recorded in the late 90's and originally ::
:: released on tape. You expect it to sound raw and it is. But ::
:: aside from the weirdly modified vocals, everything sounds ::
:: pristine here. The guitars sound strong and vicious, and ::
:: the drums actually sound more natural in contrast to their ::
:: brazenly inorganic sound on Hate Forest's later albums. ::
:: Scythia is a very crisp sounding for a demo and the sound ::
:: really compliments the music here. ::
:: ::
:: Hate Forest put a lot of emphasis around the title track of ::
:: this demo with it being the longest song on here and being ::
:: sandwiched in between the release's intro and a calmer ::
:: transitional piece "Forgotten Voice of Black Perun". ::
:: "Scythia" is probably the biggest blueprint for their ::
:: material released later and its just as well that its among ::
:: their best tracks. As for the remaining tracks,"Shining ::
:: Abyss" definitely stands out for having a lot of drastic ::
:: tempo shifts which aren't something you hear in Hate ::
:: Forest, but it's pulled off very well and it's the other ::
:: big highlight on this demo. "Forest of Nevres" does follow ::
:: this up with a rather dynamic (albeit still programmed) ::
:: drum track which is followed by the more simple "Attila" ::
:: and concluding with the epic guitar and keys only outro ::
:: "Herros". ::
:: ::
:: I want to keep emphasizing that Scythia might as well be ::
:: called Hate Forest's best release. The energy here is so ::
:: much stronger than on any of the subsequent releases. It's ::
:: a must-listen if you want to explore the band's ::
:: discography. If you are tracking down a physical copy, ::
:: you'll most easily find Osmose Productions' reissue that ::
:: also has a bonus track. "To Those Who Came Before Us" is a ::
:: decent extra that sounds something a little more in the ::
:: line of the Purity era with some Drudkh Blood In Our Wells ::
:: flavor added to it, but it's still just an extra. The meat ::
:: here is the actual demo and if you like checking out black ::
:: metal demos, this is for you. ::
