Scythia Releasing New Album "Lineage"

Scythia is pleased to unleash a fourth independent full-length album, titled "Lineage" and set to release on May 4th, 2016. Pre-orders for Lineage are available now via Bandcamp here.

Today, the band is previewing the record with a stream of first single "Soldier's Lament," available for streaming below.

"With 'Lineage,' we feel that we've put our best foot forward and succeeded in delivering a follow-up to that progresses upon what we started with '...Of Conquest,'" states guitarist and vocalist Dave Khan. "This new one is faster, heavier and SLIGHTLY more serious-toned but also more dynamic and original than its predecessor. This story will take the listener on a sonic voyage through peaks and valleys in true power metal style!"

Although the band self-produced the album, "Lineage" features engineering from Nino Laurenne (Firewind, Finntroll, Wintersun, Ensiferum) and Lasse Lammert (Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Powerwolf), as well as mastering from Svante Forsback (Rammstein, Volbeat, Firewind, Apocalyptica).

1. Eternal Oath
2. Laugh of the Tsar
3. Barbarian
4. Soldier's Lament
