Devastating Deathcore from San Antonio.
Throne of the Black Moon emerged from Spokane, Washington in 2019 with a focus on atmospheric black metal, layering dense tremolo passages and cavernous ambience to evoke the isolation of the inland Pacific Northwest. The band leans into the post-black metal tradition of blending harsh, raw black metal with expansive, cinematic textures.
Nashville's Throne of the Falcon bring a classic heavy metal sensibility to a city better known for country and Americana, channeling timeless riff craft and clean vocal melodies into their work since forming in 2019. Their sound is rooted in the older heavy metal tradition rather than the modern hard rock that permeates Music City.
Throne of Vampire is a black metal band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2014. They channel vampiric darkness through atmospheric black metal.
Throne of Want from Paris deliver black metal named after the climactic location from Dark Souls II, channeling the video game's themes of hollow desire through atmospheric compositions since 2019. Their gaming reference drives a sound of desperate, unfulfilled longing from the French capital.
Laredo, Texas border city black metal act Throne ov Blood have been operating since 2007, embodying the raw and sinister aesthetic that the 'ov' in their name signals — deliberately lo-fi, occult-tinged, and indifferent to polish. Their longevity in one of Texas's most isolated music scenes speaks to a genuine dedication to the black metal underground.
Salem, Oregon's Thrones is essentially a solo project that has operated since 1996 under the creative direction of one of the American underground's most idiosyncratic figures, building an enormous bass-driven drone and doom sound that is utterly its own thing. Slow, cavernous, and hypnotic, Thrones occupies a unique corner of the heavy music spectrum where doom, noise, and experimental music collapse into a single suffocating mass.
Thrones of Blood is a death metal band from Mexico City, Mexico, active since 2018 and formerly operating as Oedium from 2015 to 2018. They released their debut full-length Ages of Misanthropy in 2023, exploring themes of misanthropy and cosmic horror.
Out of Fulton, Missouri, Thrones of the Tyrant have been crafting melodic death metal since 2012, bringing Scandinavian-influenced melody and harmonic guitar work to a small Midwestern city with no natural metal infrastructure to speak of. Their persistence in building a sound more commonly associated with European scenes is a testament to the reach of melodeath's influence across American underground metal.
