Enthroned To Release New Album In December

With the release of their twelfth full-length Ashspawn, Enthroned marks a new chapter in their three-decade reign of ritualistic black metal. Conceived across six years of deliberate creation, the album emerges as both an autopsy and a resurrection: a descent into spiritual death followed by the sublimation of rebirth. Written in close collaboration with occult author Gilles de Laval, "Ashspawn" channels arcane praxis, metaphysical calculus, and esoteric mapping into a work that is as much ritual invocation as it is music. It is the culmination of Enthroned’s uncompromising vision: a weapon of transformation forged in fire and darkness.

Formed in 1993 in Namur, Belgium, Enthroned arose from the ashes of the blackened underground, quickly asserting themselves as one of the most relentless voices of European black metal. Their debut, "Prophecies of Pagan Fire" (1995), established the band’s reputation for feral speed, occult imagery, and unflinching dedication to the Left Hand Path. Less than a year after their formation, they signed their first record deal, making an immediate impact on the international scene.

Tragedy struck early in their journey when founding drummer Cernunnos took his own life in 1997, shortly after the recording of their sophomore album. Using his preserved rehearsal tracks, the band pressed forward with "Towards The Skullthrone of Satan" (1997), transforming grief into fury and ensuring Enthroned’s continuation as a vessel of uncompromising black metal. This resilience became a defining trait: through numerous line-up changes, the band’s spirit never wavered, anchored by a vision that was ritualistic rather than trend driven.

Over the following decades, Enthroned’s discography expanded into a formidable catalogue. Albums such as "Armoured Bestial Hell" (2001) and "Carnage in Worlds Beyond" (2003) pushed their sound into ever more violent and atmospheric territories. The mid-2000s witnessed a period of reinvention, with "Tetra Karcist" (2007) and "Pentagrammaton" (2010) deepening their exploration of occult philosophy and esoteric symbolism. "Obsidium" (2012) and "Sovereigns" (2014) continued this evolution, balancing ferocious aggression with ritual atmospheres. By the time of "Cold Black Suns" (2019), their debut for Season of Mist, Enthroned had crystallized a reputation as one of black metal’s most enduring institutions: a band that both honoured the origins of the genre and transcended them with an intellectual, ritualistic dimension.
