Throne To The Wolves - Unholiest Of Kings



1. Fear The Faceless
2. Hellraiser
3. Bite The Bullet
4. Every Lit Match (Another Bridge Burned)
5. Calm Before The Storm


Throne To The Wolves have released their debut album titled "Unholiest Of Kings." This shows the band off in a pretty metalcore way. They have the screams but also a bit of a more southern, dirty feel to them, than the traditional metalcore. They have a similar sound to that of a Memphis May Fire of a Miss May I, so if you are into either of those bands, you could like this album. They have done a pretty good job on it. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty decent quality here. The instrumentation here is on the average side, nothing to exciting or anything that will wow you, but they can also definitely play. Not too bad in this category. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals on this album are done solidly, they have nice screamed vocals and he can do them quite well. You don't really hear screamed vocals done this well from the start. Their more regular vocals are done well also. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs that are about having a voice, doing things you shouldn't be, with a voice inside you, having nothing go your way but still having to act like things are okay, moving from what gets you down and more. These subjects are a little more heavy and don't necessarily resonate with everyone, but they are good to hear and having someone getting things like this off their chest. Who knows, maybe they are relatable at this specific time in your life. Not bad overall. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Hellraiser" your attention as it is the best song on the album and will give you a great feel of the album. Throne To The Wolves have made a heavy album that also sound really good for a debut.Hopefully they continue on with the strong sound and can play more shows to bring their music to more people. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
