Description: | Hailing from the always-vibrant Polish black metal scene, THROAT are miasmic morbidity
personified. While so many of their domestic contemporaries honor the paradigmatic
sounds of the Temple of the Fullmoon, THROAT instead mine a wider, wilder style of black
metal that looks both east and south. Theirs is a clanging, crunching sound that various ly
nods to Necromantia, Mortuary Drape, Hungary's Tormentor, early Samael, and fellow
Polish iconoclasts Cultes des Ghoules: catacombed, ancient, unsettling.
To date, THROAT released the debut demo New Flesh Nectar in 2020 on the esteemed
Fallen Temple label, and now conspire with PRIMITIVE REACTION to add that portentous
recording with a new EP titled Blood Exaltation. Totaling four tracks in 33 minutes, the
Blood Exaltation collection stands as a terrifying testament to THROAT's eldritch black
metal horror: a bridge from the past to the present, scorched by fires unknown but reeking
of delirium-inducing sulfur all the same. The potency of the two-song Blood Exaltation EP
presents the trio in their current sonic incarnation, more gutted and (s-l-o-w-l-y) grinding, a
protracted spelunk among shape shifting landscapes whereby throat, strings, and skin
chafe together in a vulgar manner. The earlier New Flesh Nectar demo displays THROAT at
their most atmospheric; partially due to the distant recording, partially due to more wide-
open spaces they were sowing, the two songs on this introductory recording nevertheless
retain a palpitating creepiness, particularly when they drop the tempo down to a tribal
trudge - an element they'd explore further on this collection's namesake recording. Shed
thy skin for this Blood Exaltation!" - |
