THROAT’s new mini-album out in January 2027 via Svart Records!
THROAT's fourth album "We Must Leave You" caught many unsuspecting ears by surprise as the violence of their previous output had been replaced by darker and even gothic rock tones. Never being known for obvious choices, after the album the band decided to more or less hibernate a couple of years instead of celebrating with their new black-clad audience.
The years in between brought personal darkness and depression yet constant flow of new music. Eventually the band decided to dig themselves out of the rut and pick four songs that depict their current state in four different ways and record a mini-album, "All the World Makes Graves", all by themselves with the modus operandi of ”killer tunes with a kill-myself-right-now mood”. "All the World Makes Graves" is a bittersweet trip through the cold post-punk groove of "Excuse the Fangs" and "Angles Morts", "Another Sun Down" showing an entirely new side of Throat with almost danceable synth pop harking back to the 80s and "Balance" bringing the record to an end as a celebration of the end of the world. No time to cry, pour another Martini.
All this, despite obvious influences, Throat does with a sound of their own which is easy to recognise for those who have followed the band over the years. For those who haven't, perhaps "All the World Makes Graves" offers an easy access to the uneasy world of Throat.
The mini-album was recorded by the band at their Heresy House studio and mixed by Ville Valavuo. Mastering was handled by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering. Guest vocals performed by Lotta-Lucia Laine.
