Von Thronstahl is a band notorious for its martial industrial and neofolk musical stylings. Formed in the late 1990s by Josef Maria Klumb, also known by his pseudonym "Raymond P.", the band quickly became a figure in the underground music scene, especially among listeners with a penchant for the neoclassical and dark ambient genres. Von Thronstahl's music often incorporates military drum patterns, atmospheric soundscapes, and samples from historical speeches, creating a sound that is both commanding and contemplative.

Their discography includes thought-provoking titles that reflect the band's interest in European history, identity, and the nature of power. Works such as "Imperium Internum" (1999) and "E Pluribus Unum" (2001) display strong thematic elements woven into their music, while albums like "Sacrificare" (2007) and "Conscriptvm" (2010) showcase their continued evolution in sound and approach. However, their imagery and lyrical content have often sparked controversy, leading to debates about their political stance. Despite this, Von Thronstahl has maintained a dedicated fan base by consistently delivering their unique blend of martial soundscapes and folk influences, cementing their place in the alternative music scene.
