Wooden Throne may be brand-new in name, but the creator behind the band is October Falls mainman Mikko Lehto. While that band has prolifically spanned a wealth of no-less-thrilling styles during the past 20 years, with Wooden Throne does Lehto get to focus on the spectral mysteries of the night and suitably create epic black metal of a most stargazing stripe. Granted, October Falls have spanned the more epic ends of black metal themselves, but where the forest is the spiritual/psychic plane for their creations, Wooden Throne‘s realm is more so the moon and cosmos, but no less informed by the forest: simply view the cover art to "Under the Moon They Wander Until Fading Away", for cues.
