1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording of the new album?
We had taken a period of full immersion in the composition of Ossarium for this reason last year we played little live concentrating all our energy in the new album . So for this 2025 I foresee a year full of live performances starting immediately .
Bringing our music around
2.You have a new album coming out in February, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
Ossarium, unlike the previous two chapters, is more mature, more intense and much darker.
Many things change in 15 years of music and let's say that with this third album we have reached another maturity and another level of musical intensity
3.The band formed out of the ashes of Coxa&Margot, what was the cause of splitting up the old band and forming a new one?
To tell the truth, we never broke up, four-fifths of us are still coke-addicted hippies
In fact, back in 2012, Moonlight Records from Parma, led by Dorian Bones (Caronte, Whisky Ritual), had heard us and offered us the chance to collaborate together.
The new challenge and above all the significant number of live performances in those years had changed us but from a musical point of view without denying anything we decided to change our name from Cocaemargot to Throne as if they were two completely different entities but managed by the same people
4.Most of the albums are released 4 years apart, can you tell us a little bit more about the long wait in between releases?
Alas, we are already slow on our own, and between avpid the light, the first chapter of 2012, and consecrates of 2017, 5 years passed. Now we are back in the limelight, a good 8 years later.
The reasons for these long waits are various: some evictions from our rehearsal rooms, and even Covid, which kept us away for months before we could play together.
We just hope it was worth waiting so long
5.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored with the new album and also how would you describe your progress as songwriters over the years?
Each of our records deals with subtle themes of everyday life, from depression to addiction, up to the difficult coexistence between man and religion.
Let's say that with ossarium we tried to create an interview between the listener and a higher entity, ranging from self-criticism for selfishness and greed to baring all in front of one's own mistakes
6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
We also entrusted the task to the best on the scene in the ossuary, ADRIAN BAXTER, who had already created the previous Consecrates cover.
Being very good at understanding us and being inspired by our songs, he always manages to put into design what we try to convey with our music.
The cover is dark and gloomy but at the same time orderly, there are no subjects that could mess up one's ideas. It was very strong: wickedness and order, horror and organisation, up to the most classic of the sacred and profane
7.Out of all the shows and tours the band has played over the years which one stands out the most?
We have many of them, from small live shows that you wouldn't bet a penny on, but which turn into real human pandemoniums, to festivals in the biggest and most important venues in Europe.
Personally, however, the most beautiful and satisfying experiences are the evenings with high-profile bands, both local and foreign, such as the live shows with the HEXIS band, which are amazing
8.Do you have any touring or show plans once the new album is released?
We'll be starting at the end of February with a few dates in Italy and then we'll try to play in almost all the major European cities until September, when we should go on tour for about ten days.
However, as we're constantly updating, just take a look at our pages to come and meet us at one of our live shows for a few beers together, which never hurts
9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black and sludge metal?
We've just released our new album but reviews and the public are currently enjoying our fusion.
In the end, we never try to make music for others, we do what we do best and then hope to have great visibility and feedback.
10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
Who can say at the moment, we are very mature in our music and lyrics, we have also improved a lot with our merchandise and our social media pages.
We have reached a very high level of maturity, but that doesn't mean that in the future we might not make a new album with other influences, death metal for example, who knows?
11.What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are currently listening to nowadays?
Nowadays we really listen to a lot of bands and of the most diverse genres,
Celeste, hexis, behemoth, amenra, eyehategood, morast and even meshuggah. We look for inspiration from everyone without ever copying anyone.
12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
We really hope that 2025 will be a great year for us, full of live performances and satisfaction, and we hope that a lot of people really like our album ossarium.
