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.

Enthroned Parts With Bassist
After ten years of membership, Phorgath has decided to leave Enthroned. The band will continue with a new member and looks forward to the forthcoming concerts and recording an eleventh album later this year.
Phorgath comments: "I would like to say a big 'thank you' to Enthroned for doing my part on these four albums and for giving me the opportunity to produce three of them. I will miss being with and travelling the world with the guys. I have only good memories, but it's time for me and Enthroned to focus on our new projects. Hail Enthroned & The Blackened Horde."
Enthroned had this to say: " We're sad to see Phorgath go, but we totally respect his decision and send him all our support for the future. The past ten years have been beyond intense, we've gone through a lot together, as brothers, as musicians and as partners in crime. There is no animosity or tension between us. All our best wishes go to Phorgath; may all your future projects go according to your plans!
"The four of us will now continue with a new bass player, who is none other than long-time friend Norgaath, known for his duties within Nightbringer / Coldborn /Grimfaug. We're looking forward to finishing the composition and starting the recording of the new album with Norgaath and go on the road together." More...

Column
Sunday Old School: BMHM Part 4 - Enthroned
And so we come to the end of Black Metal History Month for the fifth time. This year we’ve seen how Dimmu Borgir attained commercial success, how Melechesh overcame religious policing and fled their home country and examined the blood drenched story of Dissection. We close another fascinating month with a trip to Belgium, to take a look at another band with a history of extreme music and personal tragedy, Enthroned.
Enthroned began life in 1993 in the city of Charleroi, the brain child of drummer Cernunnos. He sought out like minded musicians and soon found them in Tsebaoth and vocalist/bassist Sabathan, who joined after the group briefly worked with a singer from the blackened grindcore band Hecate. The trio recorded a five track demo which circulated around the metal underground, eventually leading them to release a split EP with countrymen Ancient Rites through Afterdark Records. The label soon folded but the band was picked up by Evil Omen Records, a sub-label of Osmose Productions, who released the band’s debut album, "Prophecies of Pagan Fire" in 1995. It didn’t impress every listener, but received a generally good response, with "At the Sound of Millennium Black Bells" being singled out as an Enthroned classic. More...
