GoreThrone Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

 We are from Grand Rapids Michigan and we are a four piece just 2 guitars, vocalist and drums no bass as of yet


2.So far you have released an ep, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording? 

We wanted it to be as heavy as possible alot of breakdowns and quick songs they are all around 2:30 minutes


3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music? 

They range from a pack of wolves killing it's pray in alpha to how god has abandoned us in necropolis and Celestial Noose, and in grim our vocalists talks about his abusive stepfather


4.Originally the band was called 'Behold the Wicked', what was the cause of the name change and also the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'GoreThrone'?.

We had a lineup change and when we brought in our vocalists we decided to go more deathcore and needed something that sounded more brutal. The inspiration was just when you hear the name Gorethrone you get the image of just twisted dead bodies and that's what we are going for.


5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover? 

It represent the decent into hell and all the pain and anguish and dispare you would feel when you get there.


6.You got some live shows planned for the summer, what should we expect once you hit the stage?

 Our big thing is we put on a show we don't stand there and play we get in your face and even get into the pit with you, we see so many bands just standing there and playing which is cool but we want you to really feel us.


7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest? 

Not at the moment but we wouldn't be against it if we feel they are going to bring us to the next level but otherwise we are doing pretty good doing it ourselves


8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction bene to your music by fans of black metal and deathcore? 

Honestly we have been getting alot of Black metal fans from it we wouldn't think because Black metal is alot more melodic and doesn't have any breakdowns


9.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

 We are working on a full length right now, we already have four songs written and hoping to get it out by the end of the year. Our new stuff is going to be more technical we are going to have longer songs a few more solos.


10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

 The drummer is a huge black metal fan so he is always giving us that and the vocalists is straight deathcore and I listen to alot of djent and progressive metal.


11.What are some of your non musical interests?

 Our drummer and rhythm guitarist are both into MMA and the rhythm guitarist used to be a fighter, and the singer is into twitch stream his handle is papazammy if you want to check him out.


12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts? 

Just be ready for us going for it later this year we are looking to set up our own show Gorefest which we are talking to bands and venues that are interested and be ready for our full length.

GoreThrone/The Descension/2021 EP Review

 


  GoreThrone  are  a  band  from  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan  that  plays  a  blackened  form  of  deathcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2021  ep  "The  Descension".  


  A  very  dark,  heavy  and  brutal  sound  starts  off  the  ep  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  blackened  screams  along  with  a  few  growls.  Deathcore  style  breakdowns  are  also  added  into  the  mid  tempo  sections  of  the  songs  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats.


  Distorted  and  dark  sounding  melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  spoken  word  parts  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  The  songs  also  add  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast parts  along  with  most  of  the  tracks  also  being  under  3  minutes  and  one  track  also  adds  in a  brief  use  of  clean  playing,  the  vocals  also  have  their  guttural  moments.


  GoreThrone  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  black  metal  and  deathcore  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  heavy  while  the    lyrics  cover  darkness  and  war  themes.  


  In  my  opinion  GoreThrone  are  a  very  great  sounding  blackened  deathcore  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Descension"  "Celestial  Noose"  and  "Grim".  8  out  of  10.
