Reviews for Blood Red Throne's Come Death
NO-ONE GETS PARDONED FOR LIVING - 80%
Written by Skammdegisthunglyndi on January 30th, 2008
Norway's stalwarts Blood Red Throne have returned with their fourth album of no
nonsense death metal riffage. The first album featuring Vald (vocalist to BRT
side project Trioxin) once again showcases Tchort and Død's Norwegian take on
Swedish death via Florida. The only notable difference vocally is Vald's slight
detours into the higher ranges, the staple death rasp is near identical to that
of predecessor Mr. Hustler. As for the rest? Well, if it ain't broke don't fix
it.
The chunky Swedish tone with those all familiar muted triplet crunches are
staple throughout the album. Apart from Caspersen's dextrous bass widdling BRT
have always eschewed technical focus for grooving riffs, which are in no short
supply on Come Death. Mixing elements from previous effort Altered Genesis with
the more casual groove of debut Monument of Death, BRT have delivered perhaps
their most rounded effort to date. Opener 'Slaying the Lamb' gives you no time
to prepare, charging straight in before dropping a trademark Throne riff whilst
switching between frenzied blast and grooving chug with ease. 'Rebirth in Blood'
has time for some melodious prog-riffing a la Anata before marching to a close,
whilst 'Taste Of God' brings a little thrash to the deathfest. There's even time
for a well executed Gorguts cover before the end.
Once again BRT have delivered the goods. Tchort and Død present a veritable riff
buffet of accomplished death metal with more than enough variance to hold your
attention from start to finish. Another fine slab of 2007 death metal that might
even make some '... of the year' lists.

Mommy, my neck hurts. - 87%
Written by CircleovZaphyan on January 15th, 2008
“Well son, Come Death will do that to you. Try not to listen to it so loud next
time”.
Boy, Blood Red Throne has never hurt so good. 43 Minutes of break-neck,
face-shredding, ear-pounding death. My bones are rattled. My bowels unleashed.
You know those metal albums you throw on for the very first time that make your
eyebrows raise with interest, even give minor goose bumps? The new Nile did it.
Those Once loyal did it too. The Stench of Redemption did it again. Shadows in
the Light did also. Come Death is no different. It’s a pleasant mix of an album
being awesome by itself, and surprisingly awesome because of the lineup changes.
The material here is just as important to Come Death's awesomeness as is the
production. Take an old Cannibal Corpse album, make it louder and there you go.
No lifeless, ultra slick Brittney Spears recording studio bullshit here. This
thing surely has the heaviest and ugliest guitar tone out of the 4 of BRT’s
albums, and that bass sticks way the hell out which is a definite plus. Is Alex
Webster playing bass here? No, its Erlend Caspersen doing a god damned brilliant
job. If you’re a bass player yourself, you might just drool over this. BRT
stated "This time, we aim for a more classic death metal sound, ala GORGUTS
'Considered Dead' / SUFFOCATION 'Despise the Sun' kind of sound. We have grown
tired with the over-produced and fully triggered drum kits that so many bands
use today.” That is a pretty accurate description of what this album sounds
like, and thank god. Typewriter / ballpoint-pen-clicking drums get a great big
thumbs down.
As much as Altered Genesis really turned me on to BRT, there were some things I
really wasn't happy with. Sure it has those Holy Shit moments, but each Holy
Shit moment was followed by a Man This is Boring moment. In other words, good
riff, boring riff, good riff, boring riff, back and forth. I like to call this
Dechristianize syndrome. Come Death reigns supreme by not having any of this
back and forth bullshazzle. You can’t have a great album when it has tons of
filler. I could give a filler ratio for both albums, Altered having a 60/40
good/filler, and Come Death having 90/10.
Many have voiced their distaste for the new singer versus Mr. Hustler. As good
as Hustler’s voice was he was pretty one-dimensional, even monotonous at times.
This new guy adding high pitched screams as well as normal growls is a plus. It
fits the music very well. He even hits a certain low pitch at times that sounds
pretty damn close to Hustler anyways. No complaints here. Even if you cried your
little eyes out when Coven replaced Sauron in Decapitated like some people did,
BRT’s change might not even bother you. It’s really not even that drastic, so
relax. If you liked Hustler that freaken much to give Come Death a low rating,
then fine. Go email him a love letter and suck his dick while you’re at it. But
giving a low rating based on lack of killer riffs? Ok now I’m angry.
Highlights? Try the whole album. Deranged Assassin makes me want to punch holes
in my wall. No New Beginning just plain kills. The title track is full of
memorable riffs too. One person online even asked me about Come Death, and
wasn’t sure if he was going to buy it because of the low ratings here on M-A.
I’d chickity-check myself before basing what I buy from reading low rating
reviews from a teenager who enjoys Six Feet Under, Gamma Ray, The Berzerker, and
Moonspell, and another low rating from a grindnerd Devourment/The Project Hate
fan. I mean let’s be serious.
You know a band has some balls when they cover Gorguts, and what a fine cover it
is. If you like classic death metal, get this right away. If you can’t listen to
Blasphemy Made Flesh or In the Embrace of Evil because of the production, well
then get back to breakdancing to your The Project Hate and Job For a Cowboy CDs.
This isn’t for you.
New Vocalist and New Drummer, Same BRT - 90%
Written by serial_killer_miller on September 20th, 2007
First hearing, Blood Red Throne in 2005 when I read about them on Metal monster
Earache Records, my first thought was... "death metal from Norway?" I've always
noticed that BRT has always had something over most other death metal bands.
They had the element of groove. You can hear it on "Afflicted With the
Suffering" in the songs "Razor Jack and Bleeders Lament" and on "Altered Genesis
on songs like "Tortured Soul Appearance" and the oddly titled "Eye-Licker" So
when I found out BRT had parted ways with their vocalist Mr. Hustler and had to
find a new drummer I was filled with both anticipation and worry. I found when a
band got a new vocalist they tended to go downhill eg. Decapitated "Organic
Hallucinosis" So I got my hands on the promo and thought to myself "only time
will tell."
Wow did time ever tell! This album shows no signs of slowing down for BRT who
still unleash their aggressive yet groovy style of death metal on their 2007
release "Come Death" BRT's new vocalist is absolutely crushing. He adds
diversity and depth to the new album and if Mr. Hustler was on vocals for this
record it just would not sound the same. On opening track "Slaying the Lamb"
they still keep that same groove that BRT is known for and the highs from their
new vocalist just make the songs that much more interesting.
I would have to say that if you are a fan of technical death metal. Or if you
are looking for something a little different then what the typical death metal
band can offer, I strongly suggest that you check out the new offering from
Norwegian death metal gods Blood Red Throne!
