The Finnish metal band Scythe of Orion is proud to present its first LP “SUN-DIAL”. It is the 3rd release of Scythe of Orion since the band was formed in 2006. Compared to previous releases the sound and the graphic image of this album have been influenced by a greater number of professional people.

“SUN-DIAL” tells about the values of today's world. On the album there are songs about greed, the use of power and the state of nature. The lyrics have grown out of personal anguish, but also of love. Musically “SUN-DIAL” is less progressive and more consistent than the previous “X-lives”. Music is composed by Petri Lamminsaari and the lyrics are written by Anu Lamminsaari, Jani Lahnavik and Petri Lamminsaari.

PRESS:
‘Scandinavian Scythe Of Orion’s poetic name is, unlike a lot of acts, no cheap gimmick engineered to warrant attention for these guys have deservedly got the job done without it,
through honest intention…blissfully smooth melodic goth metal with feel that buries its hands deep in you and never bores. Awesome.’ – Dave Attrill, MetalliVille, UK

'The band brings a powerful symphonic hardrock with a diverse spices within the sound. There's a folkmusic and pop mix with the metal in “Journey” and they make it work
very cool. Musical and dramatic moments fuels the energy. Lots of tempo changes and great melodies in all tracks.' – Andy, Flash Magazine
