Formed in March 2014, Germany-based bashers Skythen come tearing out of the gate with a 7-song debut EP, entitled Silverowls, guaranteed to garner attention as soon as unsuspecting metal community gets wind of it! Categories be damned, but if you have to stamp a label on the band’s sound call Skythena no bullshit metal band with Black Sabbath-flavoured stoner-rock tendencies.

Former Dad Maria members Benjamin Kapidzic (vocals, guitars) and Frederic Twisterling (bass) have teamed up with Jakob Ehmke (drums ) to create a first short but heavy rollercoaster built without brakes. Musically, the trio channel everything from the aforementioned Sabbath to Susperia, Down, classic Metallica, and even Turbonegro over the course of Silverowls, capping things off with a stoner-tweaked cover of Metallica’s “Motorbreath”.
Today Skythen have finally gone public and unveil release date as well as a first teaser for their debut record Silverowls, set to be self-released as CD & Digital Download on October 16^th 2015:
