THRONE OF THORNS

“WHERE CAPTIVATING RHYTHMS AND SOARING MELODIES UNITE”

With power and precision, THRONE OF THORNS, a new Belgian metal band, masterfully forges harmonious melodies and dynamic vocals over a solid foundation of captivating guitar riffs. Founded by guitarist and songwriter Thomas Jethro Verleye, the band has assembled a talented lineup of musicians, including Josey Hindrix (vocals), Wim Rotthier (keyboard), Guy Vercruysse (backing vocals, production, mixing), and Baruch Van Bellegem (drums), all of whom have solid track records in bands such as Ostrogoth, Reject the Sickness and Guilty as Charged. THRONE OF THORNS crafts a unique sonic journey by seamlessly blending melodic, heavy, power, and progressive metal, appealing to a diverse audience … for fans of Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Fates Warning, Avantasia, Stratovarius, Helloween, etc.

Their full-length debut album ‘Converging Parallel Worlds’ is a musical rollercoaster, dealing with the pressing issues of global injustice, delving into the seductive grip of capitalism, power abuse and self-indulgence. The album's title serves as a metaphor for the dwindling time left to alter our destructive course, preventing Earth and humanity from succumbing to the ravages of relentless prosperity. With soaring melodies and memorable choruses, THRONE OF THORNS creates music that lingers in the mind, revealing new layers with each listen. The mastering of the album was entrusted to Jacob Hansen, an internationally acclaimed Danish producer known for his unwavering commitment to sonic perfection.

Mark your calendars for the global release on February 16, 2024, under the banner of Rock of Angels Records (ROAR!)! The first single of the album, called 'Underworld', was released on December 22, 2023.
