about

Young purveyors of a glorious new sound!
Recorded by Scimitar and producer Eric Hogg; the "Black Waters" release has has since put this group of young Canadians on the map internationally. Scimitar combines the distinct melodic style of European Heavy Metal with the flavor of the Vancouver Island coast line. The bands debut "Black Waters" skillfully balances visceral aggression with virtuous delivery alluding to classic Amon Amarth or Wintersun's guitar driven melodies. "Black Waters" awakens elements of humanity buried deep beneath the shells of our polished modern identities...

When new music makes you feel like you stepped into a Time Machine back into the late 80’s heavy metal scene you know it’s something special. Highly recommended for fans of that old school sound. Wyandottemike
