SYMPHONIC BLACK METAL GROUP EMPYREAN THRONE TO TOUR WITH KALMAH & VREID
Hailed by Decibel as “one of U.S. black metal’s most exciting up-and-coming bands,” the Southern California-based EMPYREAN THRONE will continue to support their acclaimed M-Theory Audio debut “Chaosborne” by supporting Kalmah on the Finnish melodic death metal group’s first-ever American tour this spring. A complete list of the groups’ upcoming shows together – which will also feature Norwegian black n’ rollers Vreid – appears below.
“We are honored to have been given the opportunity to join forces with both Kalmah and Vreid for the ‘Heroes To Us’ North American Tour next month,” says EMPYREAN THRONE vocalist Andrew Knudsen. “This will be Kalmah’s first appearance in the United States, which makes this upcoming campaign all the more special. This will also be EMPYREAN THRONE’s first time flying the banner of Chaos over the eastern half of the U.S., as well as our first appearances in Canada. Both Kalmah and Vreid are masters of their craft and seasoned touring veterans. We are eager to forge new alliances with our European counterparts as we embark on what’s shaping up to be a glorious 2019 crusade!”
In recent months, EMPYREAN THRONE has toured throughout the Western United States alongside the likes of Carach Angren, Wolfheart, Mors Principum Est and Wolf King in support of their full-length debut, “Chaosborne,” which was produced by Mick Kenney (Anaal Nathrakh, Motionless in White).
“Chaosborne” tells the saga of a 10th century crusading Templar knight and his subsequent abduction by Lovecraftain deities, stranding him deep within the realms of Chaos. What follows is an epic journey of self-discovery across “Chaosborne”’s eleven tracks of sonic fury and wrath.”
Check out their promo videos for “Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam” (https://youtu.be/bDHVryD2u18) and “Haereticus Stellarum Part II” (https://youtu.be/38YNQ62O-34) to catch a glimpse of the vision and identity of the band, who have been praised by OC Weekly for their “vicious mix of raw black metal and traditional death metal.”
