"Gladius opens the album with the Roman legions advancing into Britain under Suetonius Paulinus. With driving riffs and martial energy, the song captures the confidence and brutality of Rome as it confronts the druids in Wales." - says Markus Tillmann
Markus continues, speaking about Resistance: "Scythed’s debut album is a conceptual journey through one of the most dramatic chapters of ancient history: the Roman invasion of Britain and the rebellion led by Boudica. Told in chronological order across eight tracks, the album explores themes of conquest, betrayal, resistance, and the personal cost of war. From the militaristic precision of the Roman legions in Gladius and Mona, to the rising defiance of the Iceni tribe in Iceni and Allies, the album builds toward the explosive revolt in Boudica and Resistance. It ends on a haunting and introspective note with Injustice, where the legendary queen reflects on the devastation left in the wake of her uprising. Musically, the album blends the melodic force of classic Power Metal with cinematic storytelling. Driving riffs, powerful vocals, and shifting dynamics support the narrative as it moves from triumphant to tragic. Scythed’s Resistance tells a story of identity, conviction, and the heavy price of standing up to oppression."
Scythed is a Power Metal solo project by German musician Markus Tillmann, developed between 2022 and 2025. The main writing and recording took place from 2023 to 2025.
With a background as a bassist in various bands and a growing focus on guitar since 2021, Markus composed the majority of the music and lyrics for the project. To bring the songs to life, he collaborated with vocalist Mau and drummer Jacques, whose performances helped shape the album’s final sound.
Combining melodic guitar work, driving rhythms, and powerful vocals, Scythed blends classic Power Metal elements with a clear and personal musical vision. The result is a cohesive debut that showcases individual craftsmanship and strong collaboration.
