Indiana Thrash/Power/Prog Metallers Idol Throne proudly announce the release of their 2nd album “A Clarion Call” via Stormspell Records! The album releases May 31, 2024. First single “The Last Voyage” is now available on all streaming services and digital!
Through the band’s inception in 2018 to the release of debut LP “The Sibylline Age” in 2022, Idol Throne has sought to blend Bay-Area Thrash, U.S. Power, and Progressive Metal into a unique sound to call their own. With “A Clarion Call”, the quintet simultaneously hone and expand everything that made “Sibylline” special while evolving the boundaries of what Idol Throne is and can be. The band takes the listener on a sonic journey across 8 diverse tracks, from aggressive, pummeling thrashers and haunting neoclassical excursions to grandiose and powerful multi-part epics and progressive-rock inflected soundscapes. “A Clarion Call” is the sound of a band firing on all cylinders and ready to truly break out onto the scene.
“To me, “A Clarion Call” is Idol Throne taking the sound we developed on “The Sibylline Age” and expanding upon it in a way that showcases the growth of this band over the past few years. Not every band makes it to a second album, and not only did we get there, but we created something that I feel truly makes a statement. That’s an accomplishment I couldn’t be happier with.” said co-lead guitarist and keyboardist Martin Bowman.
“2024 marks 6 years that we’ve been creating music together, and on “A Clarion Call” we really sought to be ourselves and to let our inspiration run wild. The result is a record that serves as a summation and celebration of our sound, the places we’ve been, and the places we are headed. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the finished product; its quite a ride!” said co-lead guitarist Jason Schultz.
