Auf jeden Fall sollte man die Scheibe laut hören, denn die Gitarrenäufe machen einfach Laune und die Songs haben auch genug Eier, um live so richtig auf die Kacke zu hauen. Die Band ist gerade auch dabei, sich für Livegigs aufzumotzen, und dann wäre als einzige Spaßbremse nur noch der verfickte Coronascheiß übrig. […]

Das Zusammenspiel ist arschtight und messerscharf. Es gibt viele Taktwechsel, diese kommen aber alle wie aus einem Guss. Obwohl hier viel passiert, bleiben Scythe Beast immer eingängig und nachvollziehbar. Unterlegt wird die Musik von einer fetten, zeitgemäßen Produktion, die in diesem Fall aber nicht störend wirkt, sondern den Songs den nötigen Druck verleiht. Fans von Bands wie alten In Flames, alten Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates und (in den groovigen Passagen auch) Amon Amarth werden hieran ihre helle Freude haben.

Note: 8.5 von 10 Punkten […]

[…] a deadly barrage brought into being during the lockdown period in Germany that will lay waste to any listener unfortunate enough to venture near the battlefield, living up to the legacy of renowned acts the likes of God Dethroned, Carcass and old Dark Tranquility. […]

With Indicted for Misconception, Scythe Beast shows us two things. On the first hand, the band knows the style’s rules it uses. On the other hand, its adaptation is very effective, and is really looking forward to going back to stage. […]

Originally founded in 2012 as what was solely intended to be a studio
project, Scythe Beast transformed into its very own entity. Eliciting an
overwhelmingly positive response, Sven Stoppelberg (songwriting, lyrics,
all strings, voice) and Koopie (product, engineer) decided to grind the
scythe against metal whetstones and sharpen their blades.

“Breeding Devastation” was the first strike to transpire in 2016. Selfproduced and self-released, Scythe Beast found artillery support from
drummer Andreas Tegeler (i.e. Poverty’s No Crime, Bleeding), whose
battery of the drums for the album was far beyond grievous bodily harm.
The music press likened the initial assault to the greatness of God
Dethroned, Carcass, and old Dark Tranquillity. This drove Scythe Beast
forward to advance the battlefield, and continue shelling
Two years later, in December 2018, the beast besieged the studio once
again. Dug into the studio, a new tactical assault was planned: Scythe
Beast were to enter the stage. Elite personnel had to be recruited for such
an undertaking, and the plan was mission-ready in late 2019 when the
album was finalised. In 2020, stages were attacked in multiple strikes,
until a biological agent forced a lockdown.
The retreat was not a defeat – far from it. Scythe Beast utilised the
lockdown to regroup and assemble in the studio again, and record another
major assault on the senses.

On 04.03.2021, Scythe Beast unleashed “Indicted for Misconception”, a
second deadly barrage that lay waste to any listeners unfortunate
enough to venture near the battlefield.
After personel changes on bass and vocals Scythe Beast are back to strike.
