Romanian death metal dealers, SCYTHE, are steeped in OSDM influences in the vein of DEPRAVITY, RIPPING CORPSE, IMPETIGO, and BAPHOMET, combined with modern elements recalling similarities to contemporary bands such as MOLDER, CRYPTIVORE, and COFFIN ROT.

Formed in 2023, the rotten quartet—featuring drummer David Rolea, vocalist/bassist Andrei Constandache, and guitarists Mihai Panait and Andrei Oglan—released its debut demo the following year. On the band's debut full-length album, Boiled Alive (initially released as a digital-only independent release in February of 2026), the band included three previous tracks from the demo, which are now receiving an official label release from Awakening Records.

Across the album's eight savage tracks, SCYTHE delivers a plethora of death/thrash compositions, loaded with filthy, fleet-footed transitional riffs, a barrage of barbaric rhythms, and disgusting, inhuman guttural vocals. At a perfect 34-plus minute album runtime, the replay factor is immediate.

The opening track, "Liquified Entrails," explodes with a blazing, eight-second mini drum solo that leads into a mid-paced, D-beat rhythmic thrust, with accompanying chugging riffs. Its OSDM groove merges slow-to-fast transitions in the blink of an eye. Tracks "Plastered in Phlegm," "Tenebrous Decease," and "Necrophilic Corpse Orgies" are littered with perverted lyrical themes and an abundance of filthy riffs.

Mixed by Cheyenne Brandt and mastered by John Braddock, "Boiled Alive" blends an old-school death metal aesthetic with modern studio techniques, giving the album a raw, rotten sonority.

Guitarist Mihai Panait talks about the writing and recording process for "Boiled Alive": "We mostly wanted to achieve a more professional and true sonic experience. In this way, we want to thank Cheyenne and John for their devotion and patience in helping us achieve the sound we wanted. As for the writing process, I made almost all the riffs and lyrics for the songs, helped by the others with details and ideas."
