Review:
Our
first introduction to Throneless is a great one. 4 songs that
captivate. From the opening track "Masters of Nothing" you
are enticed with a trance inducing riff. Something that remains a big
part of this EP throughout. Thick, brooding riffs that carry some
serious weight and at the very least will make your head bounce.
While
riffs swirl around the head, vocals come raining down as if from
above. Like a distant thunder echoing through canyons. They hit their
mark in being prominent yet not to distracting as to take you out of
this trance like state. It might catch some off guard, after reading
this, to find that Throneless do not fear mixing up the tempo for
something more faster paced. Instead they seem to embrace it as
you'll hear on tracks "Cavedrones" and "Thinning The
Herd".
Through
and through the drums play lead in what pushes the band along. Every
beat hitting it's mark to usher in those weighty riffs that seem to be
well thought out. Once you have been broken, Throneless leave us with
"Reaching For The Dead", the closing track. Starting with a
feeling of lament and sorrow that does well to cleanse the palate.
Just when you start to feel as if you might be lulled the record ends and you're reminded of the waves that had washed over you
for the past 35 minutes. For certain, I'll be looking forward to the
next release from this Swedish 3 piece.
