In the Land of Ghosts

by Olde Throne

Seb I've recently spent a lot of time looking for new black metal that would be moving without sacrificing to cheesy tropes. Olde Throne is by far my best find. The sound is perfect, raw and brutal, epic and gripping. This album is filled with memorable moments of glory (that powerful transition to the riff at the beginning of Cliffs of Culzean, the guitars in Greyfriars Kirkyard...). In the Land of Ghosts definitely possesses the eternal beauty of classics. A must have for all BM fans, trust me! Favorite track: Cliffs of Culzean.

H.L. #8 2023: I already like "an Gorta Mór" a lot and "In the Land of Ghosts" continues that successful path. The album contains sharp melodic black metal with gnarled vocals, telling dark ghost stories and adding a well fitting folkloric touch with occasional use of flutes or bagpipes. The result is epic, sometimes majestic and has a timeless, dense atmosphere, just listen to "Greyfriars Kirkyard", "Killiecrankie" or "Isobel". The organic, slightly rough sound fits also very well. Favorite track: Greyfriars Kirkyard.

about

Following the debut album “an Gorta Mór” which focused on the great famine in Ireland, Olde Throne return with their sophomore release which steps away from Ireland and takes place in the land of ghosts... Scotland.
“In the Land of Ghosts” is a collection of ghost stories and dark tales from a land bountiful of ghosts and ghouls.
From the headless horseman of the House of Dun to the ghost soldiers still fighting in the wooded gorge of Killiecrankie.

The album also includes a bonus track re-recording of the first demo “An Torr” commemorating the massacre of Glencoe in 1692.
“From a bygone world their souls remain”
