Blood Red Throne – Imperial Congregation

In many respects, the dawn of the new decade 2020 drew humanity back into some of the most tumultuous corners of the dark ages, yet Death Metal Purveyors BLOOD RED THRONE found themselves swarming with inspiration. Their upcoming album, IMPERIAL CONGREGATION, delivers quality, old school sound while reflecting in part upon the self righteous nature of humanity; its incessant need to destroy itself through power, ignorance, and religion. “We live outside this system,” explains founder and guitarist Daniel Olaisen. “We don’t join in on the sheep mentality. Create your own possibilities, be responsible for your own misery or success!”

The haunting, organic album artwork was designed by the infamous Marcelo Vasco. The image displays a flock of old, religious men as they meet in secrecy to design the laws of lower society. “Many of our lyrics deal with our skepticism of religion, and of mankind in general. Be free or be dead,” exclaims Olaisen. Two gigantic skeletons tower over the men of worship as they dictate human fate by candlelight.
