15 years is an impressive milestone for any band to reach. What’s even more impressive is that the band is still able to surpass the greatness of its previous accomplishments while remaining true, authentic, and unique. 2013 marks Norway’s Blood Red Throne’s 15th year of existence and, in commemoration, the release of the band’s seventh studio offering, the appropriately named self-title, Blood Red Throne. This is a band with a substantial resume. Blood Red Throne has crafted a death metal legacy since its incarnation and cemented themselves among the annals of legendary bands. However, this is a band that has still yet to peak. While having formulated their very own signature sound, they continue to release albums that add a new aspect and strength to the band’s already monolithic works of brutality. The album Blood Red Throne is a testament to that and their greatest release to date. Upon first playing, Blood Red Throne eases the listener in with a short fade in of distorted picked guitar before picking them up as if in a tornado and thrashing them around violently on Soulseller. A high-pitched shriek crescendos the brutality before dropping down into classic Blood Red Throne riffing, and then it’s on. Adrenaline pumping grooves, fast tempos, melodic guitar solo interludes, deep death growls, high shrieks, atomic clock-like drumming and solid bass churns together in a vat of technicality and aggression throughout the album’s duration. Blood Red Throne has really stepped it up on this record. The songs are well crafted and album structure is solid. As it progresses, there is a nice balance throughout of fast-paced and mid tempo slabs keeping the sound fresh and maintaining the listener’s interest to the very end. There is not a wasted talent on this disc or band for that matter. The drum performance is nothing short of spectacular. Emil Wiksten’s timing is spot on and technically sound. The guitar compositions combine catchy riffing, genius execution and gorgeous soloing that wind throughout the album. The bass prominently lays a foundation and thickens out the overall sound. Blood Red Throne also marks the debut of the band’s new vocalist, Yngve Bolt Christiansen. His performance on the record is the best vocal execution on any Blood Red Throne work to date. There is more diversity of deep growls and high screams than on previous releases. An interesting and notable aspect is the added singing style of tortured yelling littered throughout. They add a unique and different dimension to this album that has not been incorporated on previous recordings. There are even some well done spoken-word parts here and there and gang style vocals on the song Primitive Killing Machine. As well as being well crafted and performed, the album also boasts a superior production and sound. With it, Blood Red Throne, fifteen years later have proven their longevity, but further more, that the best is yet to come.
