Биография группыHell born in March 1998, four individuals joined forces under the great shadow of New York City within the trenches of New Jersey. With hunger and desire to create hateful and apocalyptical black metal they formed Bloodthrone. Joined From virtually different locations, pasts and backgrounds through destiny and fate. Captor from the Chicago black metal scene spent some time on guitar with the band Ezurate (1991-94) and a project called Nihasa (1995-96). Magnus from Los Angelos, CA with Iron Maiden and death metal roots was an aspiring guitarist with burning ambition. They both relocated themselves to New Jersey (circa 1997), at around the same time and would soon meet face to face. The rest of the lineup from native New Jersey, were waiting in the shadows should we say. Through musicians wanted ads in a local weekly paper Magnus and bassist Evil Pope first met. Evil Pope you might say what the ?!#@. Yes, Pope is really his last name. The rest is history. They soon responded to another add placed by Captor. A drummer Mordranok was then found through a mutual aquaintance. The first lineup was born. Using the primary influence from old school bands such as Iron Maiden, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Venom, and Bathory as it roots while crossing over to black and death metal of the early nineties. Thus creating a powerful distinct sound and a hybrid between old school technical metal and modern primitive black metal. Our first gig was offered to us on February 6, 1999 headling a show with NJ greats, Evoken and Disciples of Mockery. We pulled it off and made a good impression to the local scene but talk about the pressure. The first demo entitled “MARCHING TOWARDS ARMAGEDDON” was recorded in January 2000 with founding members Magnus, Captor, Evil Pope, and Mordranok. This 8 track demo had a very limited circulation and retains a very raw and necro sound. A short time later we replaced our old drummer with a much more talented new drummer Obscure Manifesto, formally Zephon. Life was tough at this time and Captor and Magnus were sharing and apartment right across the river from Manhattan in NJ. It seemed like we were just hanging on by the threads working hard just to make it by. The trials of daily life wearing us thin prompted us to create much of the hateful music for what would become our first album. With virtually no money we had one goal to record a studio demo in time for our first appearance in New York City. We were opening for Norway's Mayhem. This way we could have the demo to distribute at the sold out show to get our name out there. With not much time and money we pulled it off in just three studio days. We had enough songs to make it an album. Bloodthrone recorded their first full length studio album entitled “STORMS OF APOCALYPSE” in July 2000 at Pidgeon "Hate" Club Studios in Hoboken, NJ. The show with Mayhem on July 31, 2000 was a great success for us and we accomplished our mission. Soon after with life still hanging on a thread, Magnus chose to leave the band and relocate right before the signing of the album for personal reasons and unknowing of the events to come... Magnus triumphantly leads the crowd, with devil horns chanting "War!, War!, War!" into the song Marching Towards Armageddon opening for Mayhem in NYC 2000. In early 2001 the band signed to Forever Underground Records label and Distribution for release of their debut album. STORMS OF APOCALYPSE was released on June 17, 2001. Soon after news of our signing was spreading and word was out that we were seeking a new vocalist and guitarist. Captor was impressed by a local new found metaler that went by the name of Machine and offered him the ranks of second guitar. He had a picking style all of his own similar to drill bit moving a hundred mph. His style is something none of us have ever seen before. As things were starting to come together we started auditioning for new vocalists. We had two guys really trying to compete for the throne. During this time Captor and Machine went out into the cold night to check out some bands and then visit a local club for some beers. Once inside the club from behind the shadows of this dark place a stranger approached us. Behold it was Demonian the guitarist of Disciples of Mockery. He had heard we sought a new vocalist and said he could do it. Soon after we brought him to audition and we had all three singers there and one by one they battled each other. Demonian just destroyed the other two singers with his lungs of hell and screams of blasphemy. They were out and he was in! The new lineup was complete and stronger than ever. The addition of the new members created a much more powerful stage presence and live performance. Demonian spitting balls of fire leading us into our live set with great stature and ear shredding vocals, and Machine was as fast as they come on guitar. We displayed our power at the Milwaukee Metal Fest in 2001 our first metal fest. Demonian unleashes hell at Milwaukee Metal Fest 2001. With the release of STORMS OF APOCALYPSE, the band has gained a new level of worldwide exposure throughout the metal scene. The band has been out strong playing live shows and festivals in support of their new album. At this time we were starting on new songs which would become the foundation for the next album. But line-up change seems inevitable to achieve the bands strongest members. During the course of many rehearsals and shows Machine did not fit the fold and trials of what the band needed so he was let go and Captor decided to take up arms alone. Demonian wasn't able to contiune performing due to a recurrent neck injury so he helped us by finding a temporary replacement by the name of "NO-ONE" currently from the band Goreaphobia and Krypton to fill in for our performance at the NJ metalfest in 2002. Unfortunately there is no official recording with them except bootlegs so they become ghosts of the Bloodthrone past... We have taken on a new singer Necrosadist. He is a true and dedicated warrior to the metal cause and has risen above those who have stood before him. We have continued to remain a four- piece unit. The band has returned to Hate Studios and recorded its new full- length studio album entitled “SHIELD OF HATE.” The album was recorded throughout the fall and winter months of 2002-03. We finished the last and final mix in April of 2003. The recording has brought the Bloodthrone sound to new levels of speed and aggression combined with musical and technical progression. We have re-singed with Forever Underground Records in fall of 2003 for release of SHIELD OF HATE and it will be distributed also by Crash Music Inc. This giving us much more exposure in retail and new territories. The release date is expected early 2004. We have a head start on the songs for the next album and everything is coming together greatly. We are going to make the third album all the more cut throat, apocalyptic and full of hate! After having played many shows and having shared the stage with such acts as Mayhem, Dark Funeral, Enslaved, Enthroned, Gorgoroth, Cannibal Corpse, Manowar, Profanatica, Lamb of God, Cryptopsy, Incantation, Exhumed, Hate Eternal, Vital Remains, Mortician, Malignancy, Bloodstorm, Evoken, Abazagorath, Funebrarum, Disciples of Mockery, Krieg, Forest of Impaled, Divine Rapture, Beheaded, Grand Belial's Key, The Chasm, Ezurate, Black Witchery, Unhallowed, Perverseraph, Fog, Black Mass, and more Bloodthrone has established a name for themselves in the underground. With melodic influences from old school 80's metal in its roots crossing over to the powerful raw and primitive style black metal of the nineties. Using intricate guitar harmonies in place of keyboards and creating the balance of power between high-strung melodies and raw brutal attack riffing. Along with aggressive bludgeoning drum assaults, screaming vocal blasphemy, and lyrics straight from hell the sound of Bloodthron e cannot be compared too. The adventure continues... |
