Throne are a band from Jackson, Michigan that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Pestilent Dawn" which will be released in April by Redefining Darkness Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls while the music also has its brutal moments.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also mixing in a great amount of 90's influences but keeping it modern at the same time, a classical guitar orientated instrumental can also be heard briefly before returning back to a heavier direction and there is also some session work from members of Morta Skuld, Dagon, Recorrupter and Mutilated.
Throne plays a musical style that takes melodic black metal and mixes it with brutal death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death and chaos themes.
In my opinion Throne are a very great sounding melodic and brutal mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Amongst The Sinners, They Came Forth" "Pestilent Dawn" and "All Creation Wept". 8 out of 10.
