Scythia- ...Of Conquest (folksy power for the Gloryhammer/Alestorm crowd)

[Harvester]

Yeah..I'd have a few beers and enjoy the show.

 

[Harvester]

Btw...I'm expecting Nailz to lose his shit once he checks in.

I had no idea.

Introduction please.

 

[Jasonic]

His name is Jeff Black...
He posts here as Element_Man

As Bob said, he is also the main man behind GateKeeper, who are seriously one of the best SOLSTICE (UK) worship bands on the planet!

 

[Harvester]

Excellent. Thanks for the explanation.

Hey Jeff- I'm looking forward to hearing the entire disc when it's released.

ceheers,

Glenn

 

[Jasonic]

No worries. He is a really good guy!!!!

He recorded some scratch tracks for me for Ghost in the Ruins a couple years back.
He is very talented.

 

[nomisofsiman]

Didn't know Jeff had another band. Cool stuff.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

I really loved "of Exile", this song is more awesome.

 

[Harley D]

Already have this one for review. Definitely some good stuff.

 

[eppst1]

Wow, both of those bands sound awesome! Thanks for the shares.

 

[Element_man]

haha, oh man.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I play keyboards in Scythia and I play guitars + write the music/lyrics in Gatekeeper (Seeing as how Gatekeeper were brought up). Some info about the video:

We shot this on Canada Day, at a nerd bar in Vancouver called Stormcrow Tavern. It's on Commercial Drive, if you're ever in Vancouver and want to get some great food/ale/mead serves to you by wenches in cosplay while Game of Thrones/Dr. Who blasts on the TVs, check it out. Great place, great people. The costumes, weapons and accessories that the extras wore were supplied by one of the guys who did costume work on the movie 13th Warrior (Look for him-- he's wearing the eyepatch in our video) though I forget his name right now.

Anyways, we shot the video at 2am Canada Day morning after an incredible gig with Unleash the Archers, Omega Crom, Iron Kingdom and some a couple other locals. We left Vancouver at 8am, drove 15 hours to Edmonton to play a gig at 9pm, THEN we drove back to Calgary (another 3 hours) immediately after that so our bassist could catch a plane to work. It was fucking intense! Our bassist also managed to get laid in Edmonton at some point, not entirely sure how that worked out

Album is due out in March 2014, we will be playing western Canada/USA dates in April to promote it, hopefully Europe later in the year.

Wow.. awesome! Any chance said tour might include Dallas?

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]
