This location-unknown American Throne project pursues black metal in a stripped-down, unadorned fashion, letting the raw genre mechanics speak for themselves without geographic or biographical context to anchor them.
From the small South Carolina town of Gloverville, Throne of Anguish layer symphonic bombast over heavy and black metal foundations, producing a dramatic, grandiose sound that carries the weight of their name with genuine conviction.
Portland, Oregon's Throne of Awful Splendor practice blackened death metal with a title that promises baroque darkness and a sound that delivers — violent and dense, drawing from the Pacific Northwest's rich tradition of extreme underground metal since 2014.
Providence, Rhode Island's Throne of Blood take the chaos of grindcore and bend it through noise and experimental metal, creating something fractured and unpredictable — a fitting output from one of America's most iconoclastic underground music cities.
Seattle's Throne of Bone have been riding the black/thrash intersection since 2011, combining the reckless speed of old-school thrash with the filth and darkness of underground black metal in the Pacific Northwest tradition of no-frills extremity.
Virginia Beach's Throne of Botis take their name from a demonic entity and channel that occult ferocity into brutal death metal that has been bearing down on the Virginia underground since 2016 — technically savage and deliberately oppressive.
Throne of Death from Munich deliver black metal from Bavaria's capital with an imperial severity, building compositions around themes of mortality and dominion since 2014. Their imposing name mirrors the commanding presence of their atmospheric black metal assault.
Columbus, Ohio's Throne of Decay blend melodic death metal's sweeping, mournful leads with black metal's freezing atmosphere and abrasive intensity, carving a niche in the Midwest's growing extreme metal underground since their formation in 2022.
Throne of Desolation from northern France craft black metal with the barren, forsaken grandeur their desolate-throne name demands since 2023. Their compositions channel bleakness and ruin from the windswept landscapes of the Nord.
