A black metal
supergroup in composition, BRT features members of the likes of Emperor and
Satyricon, yet their music is fairly heavy deathrash rather than the black
metal you may expect. "Ravenous War Machine" starts things off, and
Monstrosity quickly came to my mind, along with many other mid to late 90's
Florida death metal bands. Structurally, the songs written by these guys are
quite long, and at times repetitious, yet enjoyable enough to maintain my
attention for the most part. "Mary Whispers of Death" has some great thrash
riffing in the intro, as well as later on in the song. Though I found the
vocal intro to "Cryptic Realms" a little cheesy, the music satiated my lust
for blood with its dense thrash jackhammering. The 6 songs are taken from
various sources, with various line-ups, and split a CD with Dutch death
dealers Severe Torture, who dominate the album. Musically, I wasn't that
blown away here, but somewhat interesting lyrics gained Blood Red Throne a
half point in the books. I would liken the album to a light middleweight
boxing match where neither pugilist has enough power to inflict any noticeable
amount of damage. I walked away unaffected and in search of something more
tangible. FAVORITE TRACKS: Mary Whispers Of Death, Monument Of
Death.
