Vancouver folk metal group Scythia has announced that they will be embarking on a cross Canada trek that will kick off in Victoria, BC and make its way east over the following six weeks.  Scythia‘s tour will see them promoting their upcoming release, …Of War, which is set for an October 5, 2010 release.  Vocalist/Guitarist Dave Khan comments on the album’s direction and intent:

“Folk music is definitely more ambient, pure, and beautiful. Metal is intense, raunchy, and driving. The use of both in songs, combined with dynamic contouring, has the ability to take the listener on the kind of journey that rises to mountain peaks and descends into valleys, in a sonic sort of way.”
