Thrones Of Decay

Thrones of Decay is the explosive debut album from Portland’s own Graves Hollow. Blending the raw ferocity of thrash, death, and black metal, the band delivers a relentless sonic assault that delves into themes of destruction, despair, and humanity’s role in its own undoing. With an unfiltered look at ecological collapse and existential dread, this album isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a harrowing journey through the ashes of a dying world.

The album opens with the haunting Intro before plunging into Great Towers, a blistering track that lays bare humanity’s obsession with greed and the resulting environmental devastation. Songs like Apocalyptic Regeneration and The Thaw offer crushing riffs and apocalyptic imagery, while Never Ending Black brings an intensely personal exploration of inner torment and surrender to the void. The three-part saga Before The Aftermath unravels an epic narrative of destruction, survival, and the fragile hope for renewal.

Graves Hollow doesn’t hold back lyrically or musically. Tracks like Reaping Madness dive into cosmic horror, while the unrelenting Bog Hag and Morning Star showcase the band’s ability to channel chaos into precision. The duo balances moments of pure aggression with eerie melodies, creating tension and release that keeps you on edge throughout the album.

Produced at Mental Misfire Studios, Thrones of Decay doesn’t just reflect the end of the world—it makes you feel it. Brutal, timely, and unapologetically heavy, the album has already been called “a foreboding rollercoaster of thrash” and “eco-horror in death metal form.”

Graves Hollow has crafted a debut that leaves no survivors. Thrones of Decay isn’t just music; it’s the sound of the end, brought to life in crushing detail.
