LISTEN: “VAGARY”
“Of Spire & Throne continue to improve and totally impress. For me they are up there with Conan as one of the best UK doom sludge outfits currently crushing skulls.”
– Ave Noctum
“The thing i dig about this band the most is their sound. It’s heavy, crushing and raw. No digital mambo-jambo here. No polished production or whatsoever. Just a pure set of guitars-bass-drum, played very intensely in order to crush us and to that add the growling cavernous voice of Ali Lauder that will make you shiver on every word vomited by his throat. The way doom should sound.”
– CVLT Nation
