SCYTHROW Envy is the Filth of the Soul CD

Hailing from Finland, Scythrow delivers a savage and technical strike with their EP Envy Is the Filth of the Soul, released through the specialized label Brutal Cave Productions. While Finland is often associated with melodic or doom-laden sounds, Scythrow represents the country's fierce capability in Technical Death/Thrash Metal, offering a release that is as sophisticated as it is violent. Envy Is the Filth of the Soul is a condensed masterclass in aggression. The EP is characterized by its high-velocity riffing, intricate song structures, and a relentless rhythmic assault. The band masterfully blends the surgical precision of late-era Death with the raw, chaotic energy of European Thrash. The guitar work is particularly impressive, featuring frantic shredding and dissonant leads that weave through the wall of sound created by the battering percussion. Vocally, the release is anchored by a powerful, snarling delivery that emphasizes the themes of human depravity and the filth referenced in the title. With a production that is sharp, dry, and uncompromising, the EP highlights the band's technical prowess without sounding over-produced. This CD is a mandatory acquisition for fans of Revocation, Atheist, and Sadus, or anyone who appreciates extreme metal that requires both physical endurance and intellectual attention. It stands as a standout release in the Brutal Cave catalog, proving that Scythrow is a formidable name in the modern Finnish underground.
