Throneum - The Unholy Ones
March 23 2008 at 07:03:42 PM
While other longhairs spend inordinate amounts of time preening for the gallery crowd or genuflecting to fashion’s cyclical interest with Metal, relatively unknown bands like Poland’s Throneum unleash incredibly entertaining and excellent releases—like
The Unholy Ones—with great abandon. Tomasz and Marek play an inspired and ragged brand of Death Metal with occasional hat tips to Black Metal and Grind. This EP is no exception, kicking off with the sort of raggedly disheveled structures reminiscent of mid-period Napalm Death. “On the Wings of Hell” chimes in with some Azagoth damaged guitar pyrotechnics and whips and flails itself to its own demise, vocals snuffed out in rabid cymbal choke. “Oppose the Usurpers” is more of the same, providing ample fodder for ditching work and getting bent on cost-cutter suds. Recommended.
