Scylla is an active melodic death metal act whose music draws from the genre's twin impulses — crushing death metal weight and sweeping melodic architecture — having developed their sound since 2006. Despite a US presence, the band's association with Tokyo gives their work an internationalist edge rare in American melodic death circles. Over nearly two decades of activity they have remained committed to the craft of heavy, hook-driven extremity.
