Revered and respected among the Midwest heavy music community, Throne have captivated and crushed the masses with their unique brand of death metal since their first jaw-dropping live performance in late 2017. Founded in 2014 by frontman Nathan Barnes and drummer Kollin Perpignani, the band's inception as a side project quickly evolved into a full-time endeavor.
With the addition of bassist Leslie Drake in early 2017, Throne's line-up was taking shape, setting the stage for their rise. Their debut EP "Altar of The Dying" in 2018, followed by the full-length album "Pestilent Dawn" in 2020, showcased their growth and mastery of blackened death metal, capturing the attention of the international metal community.
Their journey from a humble side project to a powerhouse in the death metal scene is a testament to their passion and dedication. Sharing stages with major extreme acts like At The Gates and Goatwhore, Throne has earned both respect and admiration within the metal community. Their unwavering work ethic, coupled with a modest approach, has given them an elite status among peers. The newest addition of lead Guitarist, Tim Kenefic, brought a new level of technical skill and energy, further enhancing their already intricate and ferocious sound.
Throne's latest album, "That Who Sat Upon Him, Was Death," marks a new chapter in their evolving saga. Striving for a heavier and more intense death metal sound, while also exploring new dynamics, the album stands out as both a continuation and a departure from their previous work. It's a testament to their ability to blend speed, heaviness, and a touch of the unexpected into a cohesive and impactful whole. With this release, Throne is poised to not only reinforce their position in the metal world but to push the boundaries of the genre itself.
