The brand new monitor, “Satan on the Thrown,” from Euro doom crew Anchorite could evoke pictures of Devil dropping a deuce, however we’re fairly positive that’s not the meant message right here. Nonetheless, it’s a slow-moving doom grinder that positively sounds prefer it emanated from the bowels of someplace darkish. However severely, this quartet—vocalist Leo Stivala (vocals), Peter Svensson (bass), Marcus Rosenkvist (drums), Martin Jepsen Andersen (guitars)—have put collectively a minimize so heavy and fearsome, that ex-Mercyful Destiny guitarist Michael Denner was enticed so as to add his soloing experience to it, blazing away with sulphuric fury. “Satan on the Thrown” arrives on Anchorite’s second full-length, Realm of Spoil.
Realm of Spoil was blended and mastered by Magnus “Devo” Andersson (ex-Marduk) at Endarker Studio. It’s set for launch August 1 on CD and digitally through Private Information. Place your preorder right here.
The band had this to say about its newest monitor:
“‘Satan on the Throne’ is the heaviest music on the album, actually displaying off our Sabbath roots mixed with the grinding riff of the refrain. The lyrics are a Kafkaesque lament about being caught in paperwork and simply dwelling makes you a prisoner of contemporary civilization. Irrespective of who’s in cost it’s all the time the frequent man who loses.
Michael Denner contributes solo guitar. The collaboration happened from Martin beforehand have labored with him, and he approached him about doing a visitor spot. Denner’s default response was to say no, however this modified shortly as soon as he heard the monitor and was blown away by the music. As we’re all enormous followers of Michael Denner and his work, it’s an unbelievable honor for us to have him taking part in on the music.”
