The third full-length studio album by Canadian Death/Thrash Metal band.
Riotor's third album is no other than a re-recorded version of their second album, "Rusted Throne", with a new vocalist Mikalcoholic and a new mastering.
Re-recording a whole album is a tricky move for every band. Whether it's one trying to prove they're still young (Diamond Head, Flotsam & Jetsam), one wanting to soften the distrust towards their new member (Exodus), or one who just can't sleep at night knowing that one detail on their album doesn't work (Meshuggah), one thing for sure is that the audience will rarely welcome them with open arms. Riotor fell somewhere between the latter two categories when, in 2017, amazingly decided to re-record their two-years-old LP "Rusted Throne" from 2015. Bassist Mikalcoholic stepped in behind the mic, so original screamer Ismarevil is, at last, comfortably resting his uvula...
Where does "Cursed Throne" differ? Besides the fact that the closer "Triumph of Sorrow" is absent for some reason, and this version includes a new mastering which emphasizes the old-school sound even more (absolute plus), the obvious difference is the voice, which is a more standard Black/Death-oriented rasp (think of a cross between names such as Okkulto and K.K. Warslut). So, it's depends on you which version you prefer to listen. Probably, for the start, better to check both...
