Thronehammer

**Thronehammer** is a crushing force in the epic doom metal scene, formed in 2018 as an international collaboration between musicians from Germany and the UK. Known for their monolithic riffs and fantasy-driven themes, the band blends traditional doom with sludge elements to create a sound as heavy as a falling castle. Their lineup includes vocalist Kat Shevil Gillham (also of Lucifer’s Chalice), whose commanding vocals soar over thunderous rhythms from bassist Stuart West (Morgued) and drummer Tim Schmidt (Totenmond). Thronehammer made waves with their debut album *Usurper of the Oaken Throne* (2019), a gargantuan slab of doom that solidified their reputation for crafting slow, immersive sagas. Recent releases like *Kingslayer* and *Shieldbreaker* continue their tradition of pairing mythological storytelling with earth-shaking instrumentation, perfect for fans of Candlemass or Electric Wizard.
