FANTASTIC NEW ALBUM OF BLASTING BLACK METAL FROM NORWAYS FINEST
THRONE OF KATARSIS was spawned in 2003 in Norway by the demonic visions of Grimnisse and Vardalv. Their prophecy was and still is to craft purified and atmospheric occult Black Metal in the true vein of the early 90-ties Norwegian Black Metal, and focused on spreading the unholy message through their blasphemous lyrics.

Late 2004, accompanied by two talented session-musicians on bass and guitar, THRONE OF KATARSIS did their first live performance at John Dee, Oslo, Norway. Apart from a live gig at the Karmøygeddon metal festival, THRONE OF KATARSIS spent 2005 focusing on recording their debut full-length. The recording process took place at Black Dimension Studio owned and operated by Stein Sund of Thundra. After being offered a couple of record-proposals from different labels in 2006, THRONE OF KATARSIS finally decided to settle on Candlelight…
