Wodensthrone is a black metal band from Sunderland in England. Since forming in 2005, the band has released two full length studio albums and two split albums.
Wodensthrone formed in Sunderland, England in 2005 with an original lineup of Brunwulf, Wildeþrýð, Gerádwine and Hréowsian. In 2006 and 2008, the band released two split albums, Wodensthrone/Niroth (with Niroth) and Over the Binding of the Waves (with Folkvang) respectively. These releases brought Wodensthrone to the attention of the underground and the band was taken into the care of former Negura Bunget member Edmond Karban for the recording of their debut album Loss.Loss, when released in 2009, proved to be a critical hit, earning the band a contract with Candlelight Records. Loss was reissued by Candlelight in 2010 and in 2012 the label released Wodensthrone's follow-up album, Curse.
This silent earth tremors
with seemingly sentient purpose
A hatred forged through aeons
with unrequited benevolence
Her divine rage tears the earth asunder
inviting her kin to embrace oblivion
As the wounds they have rent (in her) bleed streams of fiery blood
To burn away the taint of the guilty
And O' how she weeps, as her children choke
And cry for release from the flames of her vengeance
Until the rivers of blood run to the rising seas
Which wash over the carnage to quench the embers of hate
But death is the only release from her terrible wratch
For she knows that they must die...
...like the parasites they are
Silence falls as the waters recede
and the sun beats down upon the still earth
with a newfound sense of hope
All is calm once more
Life slowly reawakens and emerges from the ruins
Blinking into the sunlight of this new dawn
as the earth lies still, mourning
