A few questions - interview with death metal band from Mexico - THRONES OF BLOOD.

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

Alex: Hi Asphyx thanks for contacting us and for this interview opportunity, we really appreciate it.

Thrones Of Blood (TOB) is a four piece death metal band with old school and tech death influences from mexico city/ Mexico. Founded back in 2018 after changing the band name from Oedium (that lasted 2016-2017) to TOB, then we start recording some demos and singles in the same year and after in 2019, all was recorded in our home studio and uploaded to sound cloud platform.

We have played many singles shows here in Mexico at different venues with a lot of bands from the scene in our country, besides that we have the opportunities to be the open show for some international bands that came to play to our country like Obscura, Beyond Creation, Archspire, Cryptopsy and Your Chance is to Die. Always we have received a very good response from the public for our music in the shows.


Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

The album, was recorded at our home studio by our own, and then sent to M.A.T. studio for mixing and mastering, M.A.T. is a recognized studio speciallized in Metal here at Mexico managed by the legend Miguel Foetimat since 1993 and he have colaborated with the underground scene in Mexico and have all the experience of 30 year working on music production.

How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

Well in this case we have not released the album in physical edition yet, due to some budget problems we have decided that only digital format will be the medium of release, in the future we would like to make the CD edition but for now we have to wait.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

Alex, the front man, he made all lyrics and the music composition.

The lyrics are about lovecraft literary works, mainly Chtulhu themes from the book of the call and They also deal with the world distruction and disasters that where caused by humans and the most important theme is the misanthropy that is the hate to the humanity and their behaivours that have given the name to the album.


Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

The logo was created by Liz Abbott, she is a professional tatto artist here in mexico city.

The graphics are created by our guitarist Jorge, who is dedicated to all the design of the band and the website that are our social media stuff is taken also by Jorge and Alex.

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

We currently don’t have a label, we are now ready to hear proposals of some labels in order to take a desicion and the posibility to sign with one.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

Well we idolise a lot of great bands from the death and tech death scene like the Faceless, Obscura, Beyond Creation, Dying Fetus, Nile, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Alkaloid, Cynic just to name few.

Our inspiration is from this bands above, we have took a lot of elements of their style and melt them to make a fresh mix of old school with the new stuff of death metal that is our favorite style.


Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

No we haven’t do that, with the release some labels start to contact us in order to neogotiate the phisycal production, but we are now waiting for the must convinient proposal for us.

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

We have played like 30 shows in our carrer, we don’t played so often as we would like to do it due to the conditions in our country, the bands are very exploded and don’t have much benefit from the local shows, just promotion and the possibility to gain new fans.

Our best perfomances was on the opening shows of Obscura, Beyond Creation, Archspire, Cryptopsy and Your Chance is to Die.

Also in Cyber devastation and Kingdom depravity festivals that were orginized by some good promoters in our local scene.


What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

Our plans are that we want to be heared by more metal fans, play more gigs to do promotion to the album and also start with the second album writing soon.

We want to achieve great things with the band, we would like to gain more fans outside Mexico, because looks like they have liked our stuff more than in our country, we would like to play gigs in other countries and festivals and enjoy life with what we most like that is playing metal and do headbanging along with the crowds.

How and where can your fans contact you? Can you provide some contact information?

Yes of course you can contact us by any means facebook, instagram, tik tok, twitter and email.
