Everyone likes Thrones don't they? Well, I do anyway. Been a while since I heard a new Joe Preston original (five years according to the press release) and I believe this was meant to come out ages ago but has only seen the light of day now that Preston has plans to tour Europe with Nadja. This is great news for everyone. If you are not familiar with Joe Preston's work then you've been rocking out with your head in the sand. He's done stints in Earth, Sunn O)), Melvins, High on Fire and, most recently, Harvey Milk so you'll have heard him in some capacity. In his solo Thrones guise he tends to play bass and sing backed by automated drum machine tracks which makes somehow makes great doomy, sludge metal! His drum machine programs are always a lot of fun to listen too as Preston wrestles to make them sound like a badass rock drummer! Hehe... Expect to hear the best riffs around. Amazing single!!!
Joe Preston's résumé reads like the tracklisting for the ultimate sludge metal compilation. In the early 90s, he was a member of drone metal pioneers Earth, a band he left to join the Melvins. In more recent times he's recorded with Sunn 0))), collaborated with ex-members of Karp in the Whip, and toured with High on Fire. After being on the road with High on Fire for almost two years he joined Harvey Milk. Thrones is his solo project in the truest sense of the term. Live, Thrones are a towering inferno of doom-metal, with Preston usually helming a double neck bass, a triggered drum machine and a shelf of pedals by which synths, vocal effects, and multi tracked guitar/bass line emit. This seven inch was initialy sheduled for release a few years ago, but it never materialized, until now. Joe is getting ready to leave on tour throughout Europe with Nadja, so he got his mobile studio set up in front of his trailer and recorded the vocals. This is the first Thrones record in 5 years!
