Somnus Throne Somnus Throne

When Burning World Records takes notice of a new band, your ears should perk up. Somnus Throne would seem to be a project for an era of working remotely, with members spread throughout multiple cities, and though their origins are murky, that s nothing compared to their riffs. They come big and slow on the band s self-titled debut, topped with samples and a free-your-mind lumber that s thoroughly genre-based and it knows it. With members spread out across New Orleans, Los Angeles, Portland and San Antonio, Somnus Throne is a new heavy and psychedelic doom band that pays homage to legends such as Sleep, High On Fire and Pentagram. The band s self-titled debut album is now set for release on October 9 via Burning World Records and sees Somnus Throne playing some Sabbath-tinged, mammoth-size and hypnotic doom riffs across five epic tracks. Each riff is so spine-asphyxiating heavy as if they possess the power to create a seismic tremor in the walls of your houses. Somnus Throne proves that the music Black Sabbath birthed decades ago can still hit hard and sound engaging after all these years.
