If it seems like Rise Records is doing all that it can to shed the image that it’s a lightweight label when it comes to truly heavy music, then AT THE THRONE OF JUDGMENT is staple-gunned nail into the balloon of perception. This Ohio based metal band is all-out Gothenburg thrash with a touch of German death metal – think ARCH ENEMY and HEAVEN SHALL BURN, but with only one guitarist. While originality may be at a premium here, the band’s full-length, The Arcanum Order doesn’t skimp on power or technical skills. You can check out several of the band’s new songs on their myspace page.
