History
The first pre-Bloodthrone recordings were made in 1996 with Captor's Chicago based black metal band Nihasa. The demo song 'Mysterion' would become the title track 'Storms of Apocalypse' on the debut album 2001. Most of the songs that would make up Bloodthrone's debut album were created by Captor in the fall of 1996.
With melodic influences from old school 80's metal in its roots crossing over to the powerful raw and primitive style black metal of the nineties. Using intricate guitar harmonies in place of keyboards and creating the balance of power between high-strung melodies and raw brutal attack riffing. Along with aggressive barbaric drum assaults, screaming vocal blasphemy, and lyrics straight from apocalyptic hell the sound of Bloodthrone cannot be compared too.
The band was formed in New Jersey in March of 1998 and shortly carried the name Bleeding Throne. The first official Bloodthrone demo 'Marching towards Armageddon' was recorded in December 2000.
In June 2001, the band released their debut album 'Storms of Apocalypse' via Forever Underground Records.
Bloodthrone would continue to slay the East Coast with its relentless live assaults and record their 2nd full-lengh album. 'Shield of Hate' was out on September 14th, 2004, again on Forever Underground Records.
The band has since been reformed in 2006 by band founder Captor - current vocalist/ lead guitarist in his hometown Chicago. Bloodthrone went on to play and headline shows and festivals in 2006-07.
In 2009 two new demo songs were recorded and streamed online - 'Rivers of Blood' and 'Feed Them to the Wolves'.
Bloodthrone returned with a new lineup and recorded new demo track entitled 'Rust in Hell', which was released on October 13th, 2014. Bloodthrone made its mighty comeback return show at Gasthaus in Elgin on October 18th, 2014.
On November 27th, 2015, the band released live album 'Past Battles' in digital form.
The third Bloodthrone album 'Rust in Hell' was recorded through the winter of 2015-2016 and was unleashed on August 6th 2016 on Captorvision Productions.
