Death metal band GRIEFGOD tease forthcoming album with new single ‘TRAITOR’S THRONE.’ The song unfurls the band’s dense extreme metal along with the sense of urgency they pour into their craft. Their lyrical approach is elevated by a solid rhythm section, expressively brutal vocals, and riffs that walk the line between groovy and hammering. The song’s subject is the inability to resist destructive, temporary pleasures that conflict with one’s moral values–these ideas are reflected in the feeling of pressure and horrifying acceptance the song’s instrumentation creates.
Hailing from Vilnius, Lithuania, GRIEFGOD was originally formed in 2016 under the name GILZEH before being changed to the current moniker in 2023. Building upon the success of 2024’s ‘DETERIORATION,’ the band is wasting little time in creating new music to keep the metal underground alive and expand their songwriting.
‘TRAITOR’S THRONE,’ is intended to be both relatable and inspirational while serving as a foundation for the themes of their upcoming album. The song’s overall themes speak of self-betrayal and indulgence, serving as a cautionary tale about upholding one’s principles and beliefs.
