Scythe Beast

Originally founded in 2012 as what was solely intended to be a studio project, Scythe Beast transformed into its very own entity. Eliciting an overwhelmingly positive response, Sven Stoppelberg (songwriting, lyrics, all strings, voice) and Koopie (engineer) decided to grind the scythe against metal whetstones and sharpen their blades.
Since 2022, Scythe Beast has been touring the stages of the country as a complete band with their current lineup. 

On October 25, 2025, the third album, "Anthem of the Rotten," was released, recorded live in the studio for the first time as a band.
Scythe Beast is live the complete package for every neck owner: sometimes slow and dragging, then again with the gas pedal pressed to the floor on the fast lane. Sometimes melodic, and immediately followed by a heavy riff barrage. Here, you still scream with heart!
When the scythes are circling, the chiropractor is working overtime!
