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.
Throne of Evil is a black metal band that formed in Antofagasta, Chile in 2006 before relocating to Santiago. Signed to Schattenkult Produktionen, the band has released four full-lengths including Muerte por creencias (2013), Orator (2020), and La noche más oscura (2026), drawing on themes of paganism, ancestry, and anti-religious misanthropy.

Portland, Oregon outfit Throne of Eyes formed in 2022 at the intersection of death metal brutality and deathcore breakdowns, channeling the Pacific Northwest's heavy underground into a punishing, riff-driven sound. Their approach leans into technical aggression without sacrificing the sheer weight that defines modern deathcore.
Throne of Flesh from Svendborg on the island of Funen deliver death metal built on a gruesome foundation of organic horror since 2019. Their visceral name drives compositions of corporeal brutality from the Danish island city.
Bloomington, Indiana's Throne of Iron play unapologetic traditional heavy metal with an earnest reverence for the genre's classic era — twin guitar harmonies, galloping riffs, and soaring vocals that recall the NWOBHM spirit transplanted to the American Midwest. Formed in 2018, they've carved out a niche for straight-ahead steel in a college town better known for indie rock.
Hailing from Paducah, Kentucky, Throne of Legions have been weaving melodic black metal atmosphere into death metal ferocity since 2011, crafting a blackened death sound rooted in sweeping tremolo riffs and punishing rhythms. The band's melodic sensibility sets them apart from the sparse Kentucky metal underground.
