Enthroned Darkness is a dark metal and funeral doom band founded in 2011 .

history

Simone "Nex" Ghizzinardi founded Enthroned Darkness as one of his various solo projects. The first few years he published the music of Enthroned Darkness on his own label, DarkEyes Collective, which was reserved for his projects. In 2011 appeared with the EP Endless Night and the album Invoking the Void of Darkness, the first publications under the band name. The album was re-released the following year through Eternal Winter Records . In addition to the re-release of the album, the two demos Beyond the Void of Existence and Misanthropic Void Supremacy were released in 2012 . Ghizzinarid released the recordings as demos because they depict an experimental production phase that he did not want to see considered a regular release. In addition, with Consumed by a Nameless Void, the entire previously published material was combined as a compilation. In December 2013, the split album with The Blessed Hellbrigade Into the Void of the Downward Spiral was released . In March 2014, the second studio album Frozen Emotions At Dusk followed , on which the first stylistic changes made themselves felt. Subsequently, Ghizzinardi invited the bassist "Spiritus Noctis" into the band, whose five-string fretless bass should influence the sound of upcoming releases. With the concept album Grim Symphony of the Night , based on the game Castlevania , the first album of the project was released as a duo, as well as the first release directly via another label, here the Russian Funeral Doom label Silent Time Noise . Nick Harkins judged for the webzine Doom-Metal.com that with the album the band managed to offer the recipient a disturbing experience and to effectively implement the unusual album concept.

concept

According to his own statements, Ghizzinardi dedicates himself with Enthroned Darkness to the “exploration of absolute emptiness”. The chaos star built into the group's logo and the conceptual references to “darkness” which “breaks through the boundaries created by light” and enables the mind to travel the depths of human nature refer to reference points in chaos magic . The goal behind the music created by Enthroned Darkness is "to create soundscapes that bring emotions to a level of superlatives".

style

The webzine Doom-Metal.com describes the music originally played by Enthroned Darkness as being oriented towards Black Metal. Meanwhile, the one-man project slowly developed into "Blackened Funeral Doom". The keyboard used as the lead instrument leading to the melody and the harsh vocals dominate the sound. While this was already practiced on early releases, the music of the later ones is kept "at a much slower and more conscious tempo". The album Grim Symphony of the Night is described as a mixture of funeral doom and dark ambient based on horror films and gothic fiction . The keyboard is ethereal and eerie, the music is depressingly slow, the singing is tortured.
