““Wasp Bastards” is a great example of the riff writing between myself and Barron.” says guitarist, Paul. “We don’t really play ‘fast’ fast, but we do a kind of group ‘slowfast,’ which is what we’ve got here. Even though we wrote the two main riffs separately. They just work together. Don’t worry. There’s still some right sludgy stank bits at the bottom… Oh, and we all think wasps are proper bastards.”

Bringing together elements of hardcore, death, black, thrash, sludge and post metal, Skaith are a band with solid roots in the Scottish scene. All tracing their musical endeavours back to before the turn of the century,  it’s no surprise they lean on old school approaches. There’s no fat. No solos. Just bruising riffs. And possibly some nonsense about Point Break and the immortal 007… They make their live debut opening up Hordes X, Scotland’s oldest metal fest, on Friday, September 18th.

Skaith is part of Slow Dragon Music’s new artist tribe, The Brood. Read more here:  https://www.slowdragonmusic.com/features/the-brood/
