Ancient Thrones

**Ancient Thrones** is a Canadian metal force hailing from Nova Scotia, blending elements of black and death metal into a dark, atmospheric sound. Emerging in the late 2010s, the band made waves with their debut album *The Veil* (2020), a concept record exploring existential themes and cosmic dread. Tracks like "The Sight of Oblivion" and "The Soul to Flesh" showcase their knack for pairing relentless riffs with introspective lyricism, while "Divided/Dissolve" leans into their brooding, melodic sensibilities. Though shrouded in mystery, Ancient Thrones’ music nods to influences like Behemoth and Emperor, carving out a niche in the extreme metal scene with a focus on philosophical storytelling and raw intensity.
