...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Barnes powiedział, że inspiracją do tego albumu były Hate Eternal, Suffocation, Dark Funeral i Belphegor, a także zawsze obecne wpływy Morbid Angel i Angelcorpse.
Słyszę wpływy wszystkich... szczególnie Hate Eternal i Belphegor, ale album nie jest kopią żadnego z nich. Z DNA tych starszych potworów narodziło się nowe stworzenie i nic go nie powstrzyma!



In a stagnant death metal era, Throne reign supreme. Their latest record, That Who Sits Upon Him, Was Death, offers a refreshing take on the subgenre. From the 2010’s onward, death metal faced a fierce conund(ouble bass)rum. Everything began to sound the same; everyone used the same riffs, tones, and kick drums. Thankfully, Throne deviate away from this phenomenon. They have found their way of doing things and will certainly find success because of it. This record showcases technical prowess, definitely—but its strengths lie within its creative risks.

Of course, heavy screams take the forefront of each mix. However, the vocal tone is different from what audiences have been hearing as of late. It’s truly a breath of fresh air, especially in a subgenre that’s already difficult to defend. Most people won’t expect to hear lyrics very clearly on a death metal record. You can, though, with Throne. The mix is on-point, allowing each element to have its moment. Things get expectedly chaotic, like in the breakdown of “Blasphemous Perversion.” Still, I still managed to focus on the layer I was supposed to be paying attention to.

That’s equally due to the musicians’ technical skill and production efforts. These mixes are clean, even as guitars screech to insanely high decibels. I’m sure the producer’s workflow is helped by a tight performance, but kudos to the production team. Perhaps the state of politics is responsible for the death metal renaissance. Regardless, Throne have positioned themselves to take the crown when the time comes, backed by the perfect lineup and equally impressive behind-the-scenes efforts. The record is engaging all the way through, even as guitars chug down picking patterns while the drums roar on for five minutes. That wouldn’t be possible without knowledgeable producers who understand the fine art of balance.

Not to sound like a total hater, but many death metal records from the past 10-ish years have sounded very similar. This one, though, is genuinely impressive, offering captivating dynamics and daring creative choices in each song. There is never a dull moment, with unique storylines and tight-knit instrumentals kicking ass all the way through. Throne are a truly notable group; their resilience and dedication will get them extremely far.

That Who Sits Upon Him, Was Death is just as vicious as you want it to be. Brutal, relentless drums and ear-splitting guitars may be overwhelming to some, but a comfort to others. The LP is concise, a creative vision brought to life with patience and practice. Every blast beat hits you right in the gut, a cathartic experience for anyone plagued by the curse of overthinking. This razor-sharp LP has the power to transform Throne’s already-acclaimed status into a household name, despite the obscurity of the genre still remaining a potential obstacle.

Hopefully, death metal is SO back.
