ThrOes is an Australian extreme metal band founded in 2003 .

history

ThrOes were founded in December 2003 by Trent Griggs as a metal project that should break away from the Australian metal scene . He describes the name finding as an epiphany , which is not based on concrete considerations, but rather shaped as inspiration. In July 2005, he produced the demo - EP The Drowning ritual . He limited the EP to 50 copies for promotion purposes and sent it to friends, record labels and music distributors . Soon after, Griggs withdrew from the Tasmanian extreme metal scene. He criticized the loss of the mysteries and dangers associated with the scene as well as the increasing networking of musicians and the resulting dilution of the genre. Until 2012 he was motivated by various new and old groups of Extreme Metal to work on a debut album anyway. Due to private commitments, Griggs' professional life and the self-imposed demands on the music, the recordings took two years to complete. During this time Griggs looked for fellow musicians who met his ideas and could play in the music he wanted. Via Facebook he contacted James Ludbrooke of the grindcore band Damaged , a band whose music Griggs describes as a significant influence on his own musical work. The drums were played by Kevin Talley from Dying Fetus . The guitarists Mark Evans from Deranged Chamber and David Caswell joined as additional studio musicians . After completing the recording, Grigg left the material on hold for a year for personal reasons and due to the long recording process. In 2016 he took over the mastering and a first promotion of the album himself , after which a contract with Aesthetic Death Records was signed. The album was released in June 2016. The reviews were mostly positive to exuberant. This Viper Womb has been widely praised as a particularly independent and innovative album. A few negative reviews called the songwriting "boring, inconsequential and interchangeable."

style

The style played by ThrOes is described as an independent crossover of different influences. The label suggested comparisons with Killing Joke , Shining and Bethlehem . Griggs himself made repeated references to Bethlehem. Primarily, he emphasizes the independence, originality and independence of Bethlehem. He himself called the style of ThrOes "Dissident Metal" or "Tasmanian Dissident Metal", as an attempt to differentiate from current trends in metal and an expression of his rejection of the metal scene.

Guttural singing is often emphasized as the central element of music . This oscillates between the screaming of hardcore punk and the screaming of black metal . Conceptually, the music would stand between the gloss of modern metal and the aggression of death metal . The dynamics of the pieces are considered multi-layered. The rhythm often varies and the music is enhanced by acoustic guitars and keyboards. The music is primarily characterized by “vicious singing, wild guitar riffs, crushing drums and the peculiar sounds of an [...] e-bow ”. Playing the guitar is a counterpart to the disturbing singing. This oscillates between riffing , clear solos and anvant-garde distortion.
