Scythe Beast BioScythe Beast was founded in 2012 by Sven Stoppelberg (guitar, bass, vocals, lyrics, andsongwriting) and „Koopie“ (producer/engineer) as a project to give a proper birthday shout-out to amutual friend.
However, it was already clear that a fierce beast was blowing out the candles on the cake!And the beast had a mighty appetite!
Andreas Tegeler stepped in with drum skills, who is probably best known from the prog-metal bandPoverty’s No Crime.
In this lineup, the debut album „Breeding Devastation“ was recorded and released in 2016. Thefeedback from the music press was consistently positive, with comparisons to God Dethroned, oldDark Tranquillity, or At the Gates circulating.
The follow-up, „Indicted for Misconception,“ was released in 2021, again recorded by Sven andAndreas. As a guest guitarist, none other than Gunnar Erxleben from the Bremen based band Ancient Curse contributed his skills to give the style established on the debut album the finishing touch.
Since 2022, Scythe Beast has been touring the stages of the country as a complete band.
On October 25, 2025, the third album, „Anthem of the Rotten,“ was released, recorded in the studiofor the first time as a band.
Scythe Beast is live the complete package for every neck owner: sometimes slow and dragging,then again with the gas pedal pressed to the floor on the fast lane. Sometimes melodic, andimmediately followed by a heavy riff barrage. Here, you still scream with heart!
When the scythes are circling, the chiropractor is working overtime!
