Idol Throne (USA) - The Sibylline Age - Reviewed By Obliveon ! Check it out here at this link: https://obliveon.de/review/idol-throne-the-sybilline-age/

IDOL THRONE from Indiana were unknown to me until then. This is now changing with the help of their longplayer debut "The Sybilline Age"...and that's a good thing.

The guys play a fine mixture of power and thrash of American character and remind me discreetly of a band like Meliah Rage, which definitely releases positive feelings.

Cool riffing, always with the necessary portion of aggressiveness, a good singer and a solid rhythm fraction provide in combination with tracks like the fast power thrasher 'Unholy Warrior' with its melodic part, the alternating between staccato riffing, speed and epic part 'Sacred Fire', the varied over seven minutes long instrumental 'Last Full Measure', my personal favorite of the record, the partly based on Tech Thrash 'Raven's Blade' and the final, over eleven minutes long title track 'The Sybilline Age' for the fact that the record is really fun.

Friends of U.S. American power thrash can do little wrong here.

Location: Northwest Indiana, U.S.A.

Formed in late 2018 by guitarists Jason Schultz (Wraith, Mind’s Horizon) and Martin Bowman (Farwatch), Idol Throne is a band with a sonic mission and vision; the blending of elements from U.S. Power, Bay-Area Thrash, Neoclassical and Traditional Heavy Metal, combined with a progressive sense of songwriting and a strong focus on melody.

Joined by drummer/percussionist Aaron Grove (Axxios) in early 2019, and vocalist Jake Quintanilla (Mind’s Horizon, Berith) in 2020, the band made the most of the extended downtime caused by the global pandemic and recorded demo “Proof of Life” in the Fall of 2020, which saw release on streaming platforms January 1st, 2021. The 3-song recording serves as an introduction to the band’s sound, and as a small taste of what to expect on the upcoming debut LP “The Sibylline Age” to be released on July 12th 2022.

With the addition of bassist Trevor Kuta (Xenopredator) in the Winter of 2022, and a full docket of live performances scheduled throughout the Midwest, Idol Throne is poised to become a name to know in the modern heavy metal scene.
