Folk Metal clan Scythia have released a holiday tune for fans called "...Of Santa", this is what vocalist/guitarist Dave Khan had to say about this.
"Christmas has all the right elements of folk Metal: it's dark and wintry, it involves magic, and there's plenty of ale and mead. This year, we figured it was time to pay homage to the season by creating our very own Scythian Christmas tale."
In addition as the 2011 year is coming to an end, Scythia have been mentioned on a few Top 2011 lists for this year's sophomore release "...Of Exile". Decibel Magazine named Scythia's "Oboe of Death" the #2 of Top 5 Non-Metal Instruments on a 2011 Album. Check it out on their January 2012 issue (Page #54).
E.V.'s Underground on CKCU 93.1 FM (Ottawa) has mentioned Scythia on their list "A Baker's Dozen Essential Albums & Tracks for 2011".
"Canadian folk Metal mavens Scythia and their sophomore offering "...Of Exile" is a tale of epic lyrics & epic playing, including the band's self-described "oboe of death". The rollicking, fun and exceedingly silly "Hobarth's Inn", features a goat at the very end." - WSCA 106.1 FM (Portsmouth, NH) 2011 most played Metal & lists of favorites Named Scythia as one of the bands from 2011 you should listen to (if you aren't already).
