Inspired by the old-school death metal landscape of the 90s, TOWARD THE THRONE reignites the flame and spirit with their modern and dramatic take on atmospheric death metal, deeply infused with melancholy. Founded in 2012, the French band quickly released a self-titled debut EP featuring three tracks heavily influenced by the Scandinavian scene, allowing them to step onto local stages. Over time, TOWARD THE THRONE has refined their craft and redefined the foundations of their unique death metal sound. The EP "Claiming the Sun, Bringing the Darkness" (2017) sets the stage: melancholic, heavy, and incisive, it enables the band to transcend national borders and share the stage with acts like Prong (US), Noctem (ES), Winterfylleth (UK), Zornheym (SWE), Une Misère (IS), and Fractal Universe (FR), among others. Nearly a decade after their inception, Toward The Throne is now ready and determined to leave a lasting impression with "Vowed to Decline": a true ode to melancholy. For fans of SEPTICFLESH, ENSLAVED, SWALLOW THE SUN, and IN MOURNING.
