Dark Throne – Plaguewielder

Issue 03 [Page 08]

The thing I love about this band is that you always pretty
much know what you’re getting into, brutally raw in your
face black metal. Their latest release, Plaguewielder, is no
exception to this rule, delivering exactly what you’d
expect. The production is a little better than usual, with the
drumming a lot clearer and technically executed. These
guys really know how to deliver a down and dirty black n’
roll groove. You could almost say this is beer drinking
music. My favorite song has got to be “Sin Origin”,
sounding a lot like Bathory in a beer swilling stupor with
the lyric, “entertaining Satan on an wet electric stage”.
Yah man, cheers to that. This stuff is great! So break out
a six pack and throw on Plagueweilder. – Greg Manz
