“This is a very promising band: they mix heavy grooves and riffs with fine guitar melodies and quarrelsome vocals. They play some kind of technical thrash with a few minor death elements in their music. This is no easy listening music but it’s highly original and captivating when you get into it.” – LordsOfMetal.nl about Variscythe’s EP.
In the following two years, Variscythe played around 70 gigs, including radioshows and festivals, such as Duveltjesrock, Westerpop and Plein Open. They also did a large amount of club shows including The Cave, Baroeg, De Supermarkt, De Bosuil and many more. Halfway through 2012, Variscythe embarked on their first international tour through Milan, Italy, with the help of ‘The Hague Music Export’. Four successful shows in and around Milan resulted in a slew of new fans supporting the band.
Somewhere near the end of 2012, drummer Youssry and bassist Johnny decided to leave Variscythe. During the search for new band members, Variscythe finished work on the “Origin of Sacrifice” EP, which was released on 01-06-2013. The year 2013 was a year full of change, or rather evolution. Having introduced Sang-Jae as the new drummer and Imre as the new bass player, Variscythe had proven to have plenty of potential to continue playing the music they so passionately love. Variscythe is, and always will be growing and evolving into a more true form of itself.
Variscythe’s debut full-length album is set for release in 2015.
