SCYTHIKON unleash debut single “Survivalist”

From the shadows of Sweden’s northern wastelands rises SCYTHIKON — a sonic war machine forged in chaos, sharpened in fire, and fueled by primal instinct. Their debut single “Survivalist”, released via Faravid Recordings, is now available on all major streaming platforms: https://scythikon.ffm.to/survivalist. Watch the official lyric video here. 
 
With “Survivalist”, SCYTHIKON delivers its first strike — a bone-crushing anthem blending apocalyptic riffs, unrelenting aggression, and lyrics that spit in the face of a decaying civilization. It is both a warning and a motivation: a soundtrack for the ruthless who refuse to fall.
 
“Survivalist is all about motivation. Not just for us, but for everyone. It is hard and dark, just like the world appears from time to time,” comments SCYTHIKON’s frontman Pär Hulkoff. “It’s in the blood, motherfxcker.”
 
SCYTHIKON is the unfiltered vision of Pär Hulkoff (HULKOFF, Raubtier), whose long career in extreme metal carved the foundation for this new beast. During the lockdown years, Hulkoff joined forces with German drum berserker Wanja “Nechtan” Gröger and bassist J-son, giving life to material too raw and venomous to belong anywhere else.
 
The band’s name takes inspiration from the ancient Scythian death poison — a brutal mix of blood, venom, and filth. True to its name, Scythikon is not about history; it is about survival. The sound is merciless, the riffs venom-soaked, the vocals blood-drenched. This is music for a collapsing world — war hymns for those who sharpen blades in the dark and live by their own law.
 
Tracked through Hulkoff’s vintage 1993 Marshall stack and mixed by Fredrik Folkare (Unleashed), Scythikon is nothing less than an uncompromising sonic assault.
 
Born from the blood trail of a wounded world, SCYTHIKON stands as a testament to raw aggression and survival instinct. With warlike riffs, apocalyptic vision, and sheer force, this trio delivers extreme metal for the hopeless generation — a merciless soundtrack to the end times.
 
The collapse is coming. Scythikon has written the soundtrack.
