Jucifer

Throned in Blood is the seventh release from acclaimed sludge metallers Jucifer. The album was completed during a snowstorm in December 2009 at Akdar Studios in Pennsylvania. Its lyrics and music address themes of war, conquest and nihilism, spanning a broad timeline of human existence. 
Formed in 1993, Jucifer is known for pioneering the two-piece band and being the first to tour at club level with stadium sized amplification--a literal wall of sound. Their music presaged and paved the way for current acceptance of experimentation and genre crossing between extreme metal and other styles of music. 
Throned in Blood is the first Jucifer album to approach the experience of seeing the band live. It is short and proceeds at full steam, demanding to be cranked to high volume on your stereo. Yet the depth of sound, subtle ear-candy, mood shifts and occasional aching beauty that fans have come to expect from these albums are also present. The nomadic Jucifer enters its seventeenth year in full anarchic glory.
