NEWS: Orchid Throne strike three with “Ephemerality”!

After nearly 17 years of playing supporting roles in various bands, Nicholas Bonsanto (Lör, Empress, Helianthus, Barren) is about to give us the gift of his first album as a solo artist. He’s the man behind Baltimore Melodic Doom Metal project Orchid Throne and not content with just writing and performing all of the music for “Buried in Black“, he also took it upon himself to produce, mix and master the album. A third single is now streaming from th  9th January release in “Ephemerality” with pre-orders available over at bandcamp.

Bonsanto comments: “This album is a long time coming for me. For more than a decade, I collected little recordings of ideas in the hope that one day they’d be useful. I could not be more proud of myself for how the album came out and for all of the things I have learned along the way.”

“As a musician performing in bands since I was 16, people who know me have seen me play a supportive role, and hear my musical contributions to my bands. But not everyone knows that I have always dreamed of releasing a record of my own. I am passionate about all kinds of music, and while I love playing in my current bands, doom metal is a big love that I long felt like I had no outlet for.”

“While I’ve honed my songwriting abilities over the years, I began this project with zero knowledge of how to produce a record on my own. I introduced Orchid Throne to the world one year ago on my birthday with only one song done. Over the past year, I have finished writing, recording, and producing my entire debut record. I have finally achieved this goal and it’s even better than I ever imagined it could be. It means so much to me to get this out there, to truly reflect who I am as an artist, and I’m already excited to create more.”
