Idol Throne is set to strike with their latest creation, the “Harbinger of Light EP” , dropping Friday, December 5, 2025. This 3-track, 18-minute powerhouse delivers the band’s signature blend of power, progressive, and thrash metal , a sound that has been honed over seven years of relentless writing and performing. Fans of Symphony X, Heathen, and Fate’s Warning are in for a treat.
The EP is produced by co-founders Martin Bowman and Jason Schultz , mixed and mastered by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Studios (Chicago, IL) , with artwork by longtime collaborator Mark Erskine of Erskine Designs .
From the blistering technical/progressive thrash of opener “Death and the Viper’s Tongue” to the arena-ready groove and golden-era storytelling of “Spellbound Eyes” , and closing with the melodic, hook-laden title track “Harbinger of Light” , the EP showcases a band unafraid to push boundaries while staying true to their core sound.
The release also marks the first recorded output with bassist Kyle Ludovice , who joined Idol Throne in 2024, adding a new dimension to the band’s already crushing live performances. Co-founder Jason Schultz shares, “These songs are a ton of fun. I feel like we’ve finally come close to capturing the sound in our heads. Can’t wait for fans to hear it.”
Co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Martin Bowman adds, “Being a shorter release allowed us to experiment with production and styles for the next full-length. I couldn’t be happier with the results.” Vocalist Jake Quintanilla and drummer Aaron Grove echo this enthusiasm: “Each track has its own vibe while staying true to the Idol Throne sound. It’s the perfect bridge from our first LP to what’s next.”
The single “Harbinger of Light” is streaming now, and preorders for the full EP are available via the Idol Throne Bandcamp page . Physical release details will be announced in November. https://idolthrone.bandcamp.com/album/harbinger-of-light-ep
