Thrones - Sperm Whale

As you may already know by now, I'm quite fond of disturbed, sludgey metal tinged music. Sounds that a number of our readers may find unlistenable but I take great enjoyment in letting them completely freak me out. Thus why I've decided to give you a pair of tracks from one of Joe Preston's many musical projects. He's spent time in The Melvins, Earth, Sunn 0))) and is currently in High On Fire. If you're familiar with any of them then you are fully aware of the awkward, noisy musical output that he is famous for.

Thrones aren't exactly similar to any of his other bands. Whilst The Melvins were big on high speed stoner and Sunn 0))) spent hours destroying everyone's ears with complete sonic nihilism. Thrones concentrate more on pure disturbed sludge metal. Crushing riffs whilst bizarre voices added an even more intense nervous feel to the recordings. The kind of music only a man as experienced in nut house styled metal as Joe Preston could perfect.
