New Risen Throne -
Loneliness Of Hidden Structures
New Risen Throne has been in existence since 2003 and has since then released 8 albums plus a 4-CD compilation, compiling compilation tracks and various rarities. This is the lastest album from 2011, released on Canadian dark-ambient label Cyclic Law.
Post Cold Meat Industry/Raison d´être/Desiderii Marginis´ish style greets you in the beginning; highly polished melancholic dark ambiance. Sorrow filled and slow driven synth-viola driven soundscapes, reversed voices chants and talks in the background, occasional martial drummings, and various sound samples gives it all a picturesque atmospheric background. Sort of post-war/post-atomic landscapes devoid of life kind of. This album also gives you remixes done by Northaunt and Nordvagr (Mz.412).
I don´t know if there is a concept or idea behind New Risen Throne, wasn´t much info (or interview) to find about this illusive old act. Melancholic, apocalyptic (or post) dark ambient act from Italy is all you need to know.
If you are into later Raison d´être/Desiderii Marginis, labels like Cyclic Law and Cryo Chamber then this will fulfill your desires 100%. It´s well done, the sound quality is superb and professionally done, beautiful cover-art aswell. Not my cup of ambient tea, since I like it more unpolished and raw. But as I said, if you are into the newer post-cmi dark-ambient acts then this is perfect by definition.
