We weren&#8217;t graced with a promo for <strong>Scythe<\/strong>&#8217;s self-released debut, but <em>Boiled Alive<\/em> packs in so much grimy panache that after my first listen, I had it shortlisted as someThing You Might Have Missed. Rather than wait several months before bringing attention to <em>Boiled Alive<\/em>, though, I volunteered to burn some midnight oil and write about this quartet from Constan\u021ba. Why did <em>Boiled Alive <\/em>get me so hot and bothered? <strong>Scythe<\/strong>&#8217;s brand of death metal grips you by the throat and never relents, evoking many influences while creating something uniquely their own. After the dry spell I&#8217;ve had with death metal lately, I finally found something I unapologetically adore. So step right up, put your head on the chopping block, and let <strong>Scythe<\/strong> have a whack at your earhole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Scythe<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t make grand statements about existentialism or introspection, nor do they redefine a genre. First and foremost, <strong>Scythe<\/strong> is here to serve up sickly, sticky licks with blithe recklessness. This fearsome foursome drops track titles that ooze with enough viscera (&#8220;Liquified Entrails,&#8221; &#8220;Of Pure Goriness&#8221;) to squelch onto a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/cannibal-corpse-violence-unimagined-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cannibal Corpse<\/strong><\/a> setlist while harkening to soundscapes defined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/pestilence-exitivm-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pestilence<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/autopsy-ashes-organs-blood-and-crypts-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Autopsy<\/strong><\/a>. Throughout <em>Boiled Alive<\/em>, the pace oscillates between frenzied paroxysms and plodding crawls, often within the same song (&#8220;Necrophilic Corpse Orgies&#8221;). Though it would be easy for these dynamics to jostle listeners, the savvy songwriting avoids clumsy transitions and affords an entrancing experience. Ultimately, <strong>Scythe<\/strong> guides listeners through a curated gallery of horror that&#8217;s as thrilling as it is fulfilling.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2191133937\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scythegash.bandcamp.com\/album\/boiled-alive\">Boiled Alive by Scythe<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interweaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/asphyx-incoming-death-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Asphyx<\/strong><\/a>iating drudges with <strong>Mercilessly<\/strong> hectic eruptions, <strong>Scythe<\/strong> concocts a unique brew all their own. <em>Boiled Alive <\/em>simmers with ever-shifting tempos, imbuing the album with vivacity and a disarming blend of chops and accessibility.<sup class='footnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/scythe-boiled-alive-review\/#fn-231063-1' id='fnref-231063-1' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(231063)'>1<\/a><\/sup> Where &#8220;Liquified Entrails&#8221; opens with a cannonade evoking an unholy union of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/judas-priest-from-worst-to-first-9-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Priest<\/strong><\/a>&#8217;s &#8220;Riding on the Wind&#8221; and <strong>Merciless<\/strong>&#8217; &#8220;Souls of the Dead,&#8221; &#8220;Of Pure Goriness&#8221; flits between a mid-paced slink and rabid surges of hostility, and sounds like the crossbred bastard of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/cannibal-corpse-red-before-black-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cannibal Corpse<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>Dismember<\/strong>. &#8220;Necrophilic Corpse Orgies&#8221; and &#8220;Tenebrous Decease&#8221; expose <strong>Scythe<\/strong>&#8217;s ability to nimbly jump between accelerated clips and more measured velocities, electrifying with their seamless agility as they navigate whipsawing tempo changes with a sophistication that is all the more impressive considering the band has no other projects or credits to their names.<sup class='footnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/scythe-boiled-alive-review\/#fn-231063-2' id='fnref-231063-2' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(231063)'>2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-231200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Scythe-Boiled-Alive-02-500x486.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Scythe-Boiled-Alive-02-500x486.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Scythe-Boiled-Alive-02-350x340.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Scythe-Boiled-Alive-02.jpg 608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 48em) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The musicianship on <em>Boiled Alive<\/em> is especially tight for a band formed just three years ago, and the mix highlights the band&#8217;s technical acumen. Rather than feature the glossy veneer popular with bigger labels, <em>Boiled Alive <\/em>sports a dry, natural texture that allows <strong>Scythe<\/strong>&#8217;s instrumentation to glisten. Reminiscent of the production on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/invictus-nocturnal-visions-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Invictus<\/strong><\/a>&#8217;s release last month, every whack on a tom and clang on the bass is afforded an organic timbre, imparting a raw aesthetic that lets <strong>Scythe<\/strong> sizzle. Whether rattling off meticulous snare rolls (&#8220;Necrophilic Corpse Orgies&#8221;), punky, snare-kick combos (&#8220;Plastered in Phlegm&#8221;), or playful cymbal splashes (&#8220;Of Pure Goriness&#8221;), David Rolea flays the skins on every track. Meanwhile, bassist and vocalist Andrei Constandache wields a gorgeously fat low-end tone<sup class='footnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.angrymetalguy.com\/scythe-boiled-alive-review\/#fn-231063-3' id='fnref-231063-3' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(231063)'>3<\/a><\/sup> as he assaults the mic with a menacing rasp. Not to be outdone, guitarists Mihai Panait and Andrei Oglan buzzsaw their way through <em>Boiled Alive<\/em>&#8217;s eight tracks, focusing on knotty riffs over wankfest solos. While the drums are the star of the show, <strong>Scythe<\/strong> suffers no weak links.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Part-thrashy, part-doomy, and all deathly, <strong>Scythe<\/strong> swings for the fences on <em>Boiled Alive<\/em>. And dammit, it&#8217;s Great. This beast writhes and squirms with purulent pizzazz, and I&#8217;m guilty many times over of restarting <em>Boiled Alive<\/em> as soon as the final track concludes. I wish solos were more prevalent across the album, and Constandache&#8217;s vocals, while effective, could use some variety, but these nitpicks should be taken as wishlist items for ol&#8217; <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Grin<\/strong><\/span> rather than anything inherently off with <em>Boiled Alive<\/em>. <strong>Scythe<\/strong> discharges riffs and fun with an enviable effortlessness that should have death metal dealers and appreciators paying attention. In a genre with so much competition, <em>Boiled Alive<\/em> stands above the rabble, and I anxiously await the next time the <strong>Scythe<\/strong> comes down.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Rating<\/strong>: Great<br \/>\n<strong>DR<\/strong>: 5 | <strong>Format Reviewed<\/strong>: 320 kbps mp3<br \/>\n<strong>Label<\/strong>: Self-Released<br \/>\n<strong>Websites<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/scythegash.bandcamp.com\/album\/boiled-alive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scythe_band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Releases Worldwide<\/strong>: February 1st, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In the midst of a recent metal deep-dive, Romania&#8217;s <b>Scythe<\/b> skulked out from a Bandcamp back alley and bludgeoned me with the flat side of their blade, knocking me senseless with scuzzy shenanigans.
