If it’s not already clear, their song titles are also just as over the top as the rest of WIZARDTHRONE the science-fiction, galactic lingo of titles like Hypercube Necrodimensions and Of Tesseractual Gateways And The Grand Duplicity Of Xhul are ridiculous in the best possible way. It’s meticulous, with their dazzling duelling leads a core feature of songs like Frozen Winds Of Thyraxia. The musicianship is top-notch, especially the guitar interplay between Barber and M. The star-studded cast have crafted something that’s more than just the sum of its parts, along with a gimmick that’s just as over the top as the music. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as their stall is by no means basic. WIZARDTHRONE set out their stall early and with great gusto, hardly deviating from it over the album’s course. The Coalescence Of Nine Stars In The System Once Known As Markarian-231 features blackened symphonic elements that underpin the blackened, rasping vocal work, and the leadwork from M. It’s just as grandiose, with synths that are more than a little reminiscent again of BODOM. Add in narrative elements that describe Lovecraftian horrors emerging from the depths of the cosmos to end the multiverse and you’ve got one hell of an opener.įrozen Winds Of Thyraxia follows with a more power metal slant, soaring leads interspersing its tales of planetary and galactic doom. Think CHILDREN OF BODOM with a resolute refusal to take themselves seriously and you’re part way there. Opener Black Hole Quantum Thermodynamics wastes no time, entering in a flurry of synths and squealing guitars before erupting into furious speed. Straddling power metal, melodeath and underpinned by enough symphonic elements to make NIGHTWISH blush, to call it a maximalist experience still somehow understates the album’s scale and scope. What do you get when you combine wizards and Lovecraftian sci-fi horror with members of ALESTORM, NEKROGOBLIKON, GLORYHAMMER and more? Well, you get WIZARDTHRONE and their hilariously over the top debut album, Hypercube Necrodimensions.
