Deathchant - Thrones - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This is definitely the most honest and mature record Deathchant has ever made.InchThat's Deathchant vocalist and guitarist T.J. Lemieux talking about the band's third and latest album, Thrones. Think of it as not just the follow-up to 2021's Waste, but the other side of the coin. InchWhile Waste and our self-titled album touched on similar themes, they were sort of from a problem standpoint,Inch he explains. InchThrones is full of reflection, self-realization, and solutions for moving forward and conquering those problems.InchWhich isn't to say that Deathchant have gone soft. Far from it, dude.

The album was produced by Lemieux and Schroeder.InchOverall, it's a pretty dark record,Inch Lemieux says. InchIt's serious and leans into heavy themes, sometimes using
