Thrones

What can you say about Mr. Joe Preston? Legend. If you have listened to any music that is considered heavy in the last 15 years then you have heard Joe howl, previous outfits include Melvins, Whip, Earth, Sunn o))) and High On Fire, but none of them could prepare you for the stench that is Thrones. The sound is intense, mixing heavily distorted vocals, bass heavier than any before it, ridiculously fucked up, raw programmed drums, samples and keyboards. In lesser hands this would be a disaster but Preston IS the sum of his parts, verging from a din inducing sludge racket to beautiful lulls of quiet sweetness, weird and wonderful, this rare UK performance promises to be very special indeed
