BIOGRAPHY
Claim The Throne are a metal band from Perth, Western Australia. Their music best fits in the categories of Melodic Death and Folk Metal.
The band was formed in 2006 and released their first album ONLY THE BRAVE RETURN in 2008. The album also came with a novel written by the band members with chapters that matched each song on the album. This album saw the band receive much success in Perth and they were soon headlining local metal events.
The leading warriors of Australian Battle Metal have finally arrived with their first era entitled ONLY THE BRAVE RETURN. A 50-minute epic journey displaying an array of blackened melodic death metal, of course mixed with elements of medieval folk music and battle cries.
Since their inception, these five minstrels have become renowned in Perth for their exciting stage shows featuring battle outfits, weapons and armour, charismatic members, and all in all good fun. If you are brave enough, you must witness Claim The Throne for yourself… Blood, armour, swords, axes, cloaks, leather and frothy mugs of ale are just some of the items you will encounter on your journey.
In 2009 they welcomed a new keyboard player to the band and released the ‘ALETALES’ EP/DVD. This gave Claim The Throne the writing and recording experience they needed to move to a greater professional level. The first music video ‘Set Sail On Ale’ gave Claim The Throne exposure throughout Australia as the first band to play Folk Metal in the country. They began touring nationally, including support slots with international bands and metal festivals.
Claim The Throne released the next album ‘TRIUMPH AND BEYOND’ in 2010, and were now considered one of Australia’s most popular metal bands and built a new lineup that still remains today. Regular national touring began, and the band toured overseas for the first time including a trip to New Zealand and a 16 date UK tour.
Late 2013 Claim The Throne released their most solid album to date, ‘FORGED IN FLAME’. The 14-track, 70 min epic album has received rave reviews worldwide, and the band has worked hard to obtain more national and overseas touring. Highlights so far including a headlining Australian tour, headlining US & Canada Tour, the 70000 Tons of Metal Festival Cruise in USA, the Hammersonic Festival in Indonesia (15,000 attendees), Fanatik Festival in Bali (5,000 attendees), and a tour of Japan & South Korea.
Claim The Throne are a band that work tirelessly to reach their potential and encourage fans to do the same. This year has seen the launch of the Claim The Throne podcast and blog with advice for upcoming bands to achieve the most they can. With 4 releases and increasing skills, Claim The Throne are excited for the future and taking their music to a high level on a global scale.
CLAIM THE THRONE have toured Australia numerous times, hit the shores of New Zealand and UK, and looking to dominate the globe with a new album this year.
