This is Namtar Axarcuth reporting from Philadelphia PA ,today we will speak with Throne from Jackson Michigan
1.) Can you tell me when you started the band and what the name Throne means to you.
Kollin and I started the band in 2014 as a side project. I was in a pretty active band at the time. But once that disbanded we hit the ground running with Throne and never just looked back. Well the meaning of the band name is pretty easy…a place to sit as a higher power..but to us it its our legacy.
2.) How many members are there in Throne and their names and instruments they play.
We have four members in Throne. Nate(me) Vocals/Guitar, Kollin Drums, Les Bass, Tim Lead Guitar
3.) Where do you record your albums? I'm very impressed by the production of your releases .
We record our releases at Bricktop Studios in Chicago with Andy Nelson
4.) What is the lyrical content of your songs?
It usually ranges from a variety of different things. But for the most part its just based off of dark content, ominous beings, end of the world etc…etc..
5.) I hear you are a band that's playing alot of shows, is this true and if so would you like to give the reader's some upcoming dates if any?

6.) Do you currently have a record label? If so what label is it and if not are you searching for a label to release these albums on in any specific formats?
Right now we are working with Redefining Darkness Records with our releases
7.)What are some of the bands main music influences?
Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Dark Funeral, Belphegor, Angel Corpse….as of late we have kind of started trending into more of a slam sound…so bands like Defeated Sanity, Stabbing, Devourment have been influences
8.) What is your view on the scene today overall, do you think its going in the right direction , or are you finding that it's growing stagnant?
The death metal scene now is bigger than ever and it is awesome to see! We love where its going. Its not a small niche genre anymore! I believe social media has been a very good thing for music in general giving a platform for all of these performers to show what they’ve done to the masses.
9.) In 5 words describe Throne to our readers
Fast, Heavy, Intense, Loud, Precise
10.)Do you have any subjects you would like to speak about, any words for your supporters or fans, or any words of wisdom for other bands?
Just work at it. Don’t give up. It takes a lot of work to get anywhere in the music business but if you keep at it and grind you’ll be able to carve out a piece in history for yourselves. I would like to add as a first time listener I was very impressed by Throne , you have a great sound that stands out on its own, I wish you guys the best in the future and I thank you for doing this interview, Hails!
