Wizardthrone are a band from the United Kingdom with embers from Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Aether Realm, Forlorn Citadel and Nekrogoblikon that plays a symphonic and technical mixture of black, death and power metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Hybercube Necrodimensions" which will be released on July 16th by Napalm Records.
A very heavy, technical and symphonic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Black metal screams are also a very huge parts of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic and technical style. Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some melodic chants also being utilized briefly.
Death metal growls are also added into some parts of the recording along with the faster riffing also adding in a small amount of tremolo picking at times as well as the music also having its progressive moments. Some of the melodies also add in touches of power metal and a later track also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts, the closing track is over 13 minutes in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon traversing vivid sci-fi multiverses with some inspirations from the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Wizardthrone are a very great sounding symphonic and technical 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 "Frozen Winds Of Thyraxia" "The Coalescence Of The Nine Stars In The System once Known As Markarian-231" and "Beyond the Wizardthrone (Cryptopharmalogical Revelations Of The Riemann Zeta Function)". 8/5 out of 10.
