..We are Scaphist, an Auckland New Zealand Based Brutal Blackened Death Metal band formed in 2008 influenced by blackness, brutality, the cultures of antiquity and feeble human nature. .... With a stable lineup sorted from mid 2009, Scaphist are due to devastate New Zealand and soon the world with their punishing live performance and uniquely Persian themes and interludes influenced by bands from the likes of NILE, BEHEMOTH, STILLBORN, KULT OV AZAZEL, SARPANITUM, MYRKSKOG, LYKATHEA AFLAME and many others.....The Persian influence along with the bands name comes from an ancient Persian method of execution where the condemned was tied to a boat, smeared with milk and honey and forced to consume milk and honey to induce chronic diarrhea. They then proceeded to die from any of the following: Blood loss, starvation, septic shock, heat stroke or dehydration.....Prepare, for judgement will come, mouth covered and hands tied.......Contact Scaphist for show booking at [email protected].
