Pilgrim

Although born in Germany, Thron could originate from a Nordic country. Heavily influenced by bands like Dissection, Unanimated, Possessed, and Mercyful Fate among others, adding traditional heavy metal flavor a la Judas Priest, the band creates a blazing symbiosis of icy melodies, harshness, and a haunting atmosphere.

Thron released their self-titled debut album in 2017. The following year saw the release of the much critically acclaimed Abysmal. Its roaring response vigorously spread the name across the globe thanks to their diabolical twin guitar black/death metal attacks. Metal Hammer (UK) enthusiastically reviewed: ‘Enhanced Swedish 90's black/death revivalists hit the nail on the head with this one!'

The band delves even further into the musical territory they flirted with on their debut and reinforces all foundations on Pilgrim, with more emphasis on slashing wicked fluid melodies infused with energetic, triumphant classic heavy metal swagger. Thron never loses an opportunity to furiously enhance the catchiness of each composition with a greatly balanced and coherent old school feel. Utterly brutalizing and masterfully composed, the end result is truly spellbinding.
