Idol Throne is a brand-new band from Indiana. The group includes veteran players who put this project together to explore the world of progressive heavy metal. Idol Throne intends to continue as a full-time band alongside other groups its members may be involved with.
The beauty of this record is that’s it’s been completely thought out, outlined, and executed with detailed perfection. The band members knew what they wanted, and knew what they were going for. This may come across as a premeditated move, but the results are spectacular.
The Sibylline Age is a state of the art progressive metal record with epic songs. As it stands, this is a flawless album, yet the band shows tremendous amount of potential for the time to come. One can only imagine what other greatness will come out of this group. Until that time, this debut is to be enjoyed repeatedly.
Much has to be said about the technical aspect of these players. Idol Throne members are quite talented as players, but they don’t overplay just because they can. There is a level of balance in the music that shows great instrumental ability, and melodic songwriting. Singer, Jake Quintanilla, can definitely deliver great vocal lines with an impressive sense of melody. Each player here is an asset and beautifully complements the collective group.
Idol Throne will definitely be one of the great contenders in the area of progressive heavy metal. After hearing this album several times, and seeing the band live one can sense a great commitment here. The Sibylline Age is a record that will satisfy a listeners' senses in more than one way.
