Ancient Thrones are a band from Nova Scotia, Canada that plays a melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "The Veil" which will be released in November.
Clean playing starts off the album along with a brief use of whispers before going into a heavier musical direction. All of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the vocals also add in a lot of black metal screams.
Elements of thrash metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard along with some tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast pars as well as the riffing also bringing in a decent amount of melody and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
One track also adds in a brief use of piano's along some tracks also add in a small amount of acoustic guitars and as the album progresses a couple of instrumentals are also added onto the recording and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well as one track also adding in a brief use of symphonic elements and at times the music also gets very progressive and technical sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album and cover the 5 stages of grief.
In my opinion Ancient Thrones are a very great sounding melodic blackened death metal b and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Sight Of Oblivion" "Viduus (The Veil)" and "The Infinite Eyes".8out of 10.
