THRONE TORCHER - The Mechanics of a Nightmare LP

"...genre-defying music that manages to be both experimental and accessible, while also remaining furiously heavy. Their upcoming album The Mechanics of a Nightmare fuses elements of sludge, thrash, post-rock, noise, prog, hardcore, and more, and the whole thing is a totally wild ride."
- BrooklynVegan

Stream Throne Torcher's LP, The Mechanics of a Nightmare, in its entirety via BrooklynVegan, here.

Described by punk rock bible Maximumrocknroll as “anthemic, blasty hardcore for the A.D.D.generation,” Winnipeg trio Throne Torcher blend traditional thrash and hardcore punk with jazz and ambient influences to create something wholly unique. With its origins dating back almost a decade under the controversial name Terrorist (changed after cops tried to raid the band’s apartment when their merch order was sent to "TERRORIST HQ"), the group has a reputation for a meticulously-crafted, self-produced sound – culminating in The Mechanics of a Nightmare. Throne Torcher’s combination of raw, violent aggression and progressive, technical instrumentation has made them a cult favorite in heavy music circles. With a new record and an accompanying, self-produced horror film (shot in an abandoned Manitoba sanitarium), the trio is set to re-emerge on the scene after years of self-imposed studio exile with this bizarre and grim descent into decadence and self annihilation.

Album will be released digitally on June 5th. Preorder, here.
