Full Length Review: Thronum Vrondor "Dies Tenebrosa Sicut Nox" (Immortal Frost Productions) by Daniel Ryan

Band: Thronum Vrondor
Country: Belgium
Genre: Black metal
Format: Digital, jewel case CD, standard black vinyl, opaque white vinyl, opaque white/black swirl vinyl
Label: Immortal Frost Productions
Release date: May 28, 2021
This blackened black metal outfit from Belgium really amps it up and touches on the roots of true black metal worship. For fans of Immortal old Behemoth and Mayhem they run the course of eternal flames and make the snow hit you in the face ever so gently while you make your next trip off into the woods. This band has solid drumming, black metal guitars and an eerie presence about them which suits them nicely for the music they have created.
SVNs vocals on here really leave a devastating path of destruction in its wake while the bass shows off its skills in the background. Distant and cold this band give you a solitary escape from the norm while elevating you to get closer to your own animal instincts. The force that is demonstrated is nothing short of remarkable.
This album really kicks you into gear and has great tones to it that you can only find in the greatness that is black metal in its purest of forms. I have to say my favorite track is Worms. It reminds me of Astaroth from Soul Calibur wreaking havoc with his giant axe. Worms indeed! A off we go to the next and feel nothing but total darkness on what is to come.
These guys also remind me of a Pest like sound even though they don’t speak Swedish on this Belgium album here. Life is a journey through death is more like it and it all can be found here on this solid effort by this band here. Feel free to let go and let the twisting twilight consume you to the depths of your very soul. Not for the weak! Check them out! –Daniel Ryan
