When Burning World Records takes notice of a new band, your ears should perk up. Somnus Throne would seem to be a project for an era of working remotely, with members spread throughout multiple cities, and though their origins are murky, that's nothing compared to their riffs. They come big and slow on the band's self-titled debut, topped with samples and a free-your-mind lumber that's thoroughly genre-based and it knows it. With members spread out across New Orleans, Los Angeles, Portland and San Antonio, Somnus Throne is a new heavy and psychedelic doom band that pays homage to legends such as Sleep, High On Fire and Pentagram. The band's self-titled debut album is now set for release on October 9 via Burning World Records and sees Somnus Throne playing some Sabbath-tinged, mammoth-size and hypnotic doom riffs across five epic tracks. Each riff is so spine-asphyxiating heavy as if they possess the power to create a seismic tremor in the walls of your houses. Somnus Throne proves that the music Black Sabbath birthed decades ago can still hit hard and sound engaging after all these years.
