OBSIDIAN THRONE

About Me

It all started with 3 death metal fans and longtime friends. Almost on a whim, drummer David, bassist Craig and vocalist Chris decided to start death metal band. Lead guitarist Brett was quickly recruited, and Cory took up the duties on rhythm guitar. It began as a run-of-the-mill gore metal act by the name of Soul Evisceration, and with time the band began a strange evolution into something a bit more progressive. Gory brutality was fun and fulfilling for a while, but with time it became redundant. The compositions became (as they continue to do so) more complex, as did the lyrical themes. Obisidan Throne became the new name for the new sound. The first demo, titled, "Pandemic" was recorded in May of 2006 at Nomad Studios with engineer JT Longoria. In May 2007, Obsidian Throne returned to Nomad studios with producer JT Longoria to record a 7-track EP entitled, 'Behind the Veil,' which was later released in September 2007. Currently, new material is being written for (hopefully) the band's debut album, as the band continues to grow as musicians. Affiliated band: KRIGSGRAV. Opened for such bands as Kataklysm, Destruction, Vader, Graveworm, Decapitated, Krisiun, Six Feet Under, Abysmal Dawn, Sworn Enemy, and many more!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/12/2005
Band Members:

Influences: Wide range - Hypocrisy, Immortal, Morbid Angel, Amon Amarth, Emperor, Behemoth, Vader, Nile, to name a few. Most of our music is conjured without direct inspiration from other bands, per se. The atmospheres we often try to evoke are influenced by the concepts of insanity, rage, violence, mental sickness, crime, the occult, plagues, Biblical and pagan prophecy... anything that suits the music.
Sounds Like: Beautiful Brutality
Type of Label: None
