SPLINTERED THRONE - The Greater Good of Man - Reviewed By Metal Division Magazine ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.metal-division-magazine.com/cd-reviews/cd-reviews-s/splintered-throne-the-greater-good-of-man-1/

On "The Greater Good of Man" you can see the complex and multi-layered perfectionism after a few necessary runs. Each song is a self-contained masterpiece that dynamically varies every imaginable sound element, is always good for surprises and overflows with new ideas. Because already the opener "The Reaper is Calling" makes it clear that SPLINTERED THRONE really mean business. Especially their drummer does a good job and shows that technically he shouldn't be underestimated. For example, we have "The Crossing", which comes around the corner in a very cool way in terms of riffs. "Night of the Heathens" on the other hand is a real heavy metal song.

Beautiful melodies, well arranged. A riff isn't just a riff, it forms a complex and wonderfully atmospheric network of chords that is modulated again and again and gives the breaks the right punch. "Underdogs" comes up with heavy, ponderous riffs. But the album structure also pulls out all the stops. The title song is just damn catchy, the remaining numbers deepen the style and always bring new facets onto the scene. - Metal Division Magazine

Traditional Heavy Metal Band Splintered Throne ’s high energy performances have captivated audiences on the US West Coast for over a decade. When original vocalist Brian Garrison left in 2019, Lisa Mann ( White Crone ) stepped forward to transform the band into a female fronted juggernaut. Bassist Brian Bailey is the longest running member of the band, followed by guitarist/songwriter Jason Moser and drummer Kris Holboke, and blistering new guitarist Matt Dorado ( Earth To Ashes ). The band has supported some of the very best including Primal Fear, Metal Church, P.O.D. Lita Ford, Armored Saint, Tony MacAlpine, Gary Hoey, Points North, Sanctuary , and many more.

Their new album, " The Greater Good of Man " (releasing Aug 19th) marks the post-pandemic return of this Pacific Northwest Metal favorite. Eight melodic and burning songs were hammered out over the course of the pandemic, as well as a re-recorded version of their Bic-flicking power ballad "Immortal," written in memory of Lemmy Kilmister . Packed with memorable melodies, heavy riffage, and high-energy performances, this album reflects myriad influences ranging from Power Metal, Melodic Hard Rock , and Bay Area Thrash . This is an album for headbangers and horn raisers!
