Finnish dark rock outfit Throat has unveiled a video for their new single, "Balance", the latest track from their forthcoming mini-album, All The World Makes Graves, due out on 27 January via Svart Records.
After releasing their acclaimed fourth album, We Must Leave You, which saw the band shift from the abrasive force of their earlier work to darker, gothic rock-inspired territory, Throat largely disappeared from the spotlight. In the years that followed, the band endured personal struggles while continuing to write and develop new material.
The result is All The World Makes Graves, a self-recorded four-track mini-album that captures Throat's current artistic and emotional state through a blend of post-punk, gothic rock and dark alternative sounds. From the brooding grooves of "Excuse The Fangs" and "Angles Morts" to the 80s-tinged synth-pop leanings of "Another Sun Down", the release culminates with "Balance", a bleak yet strangely triumphant soundtrack to the end of the world.
Despite embracing new influences, Throat retain the unmistakable identity that has defined their music throughout the years, making All The World Makes Graves both a natural progression for longtime followers and an accessible entry point for newcomers.
Recorded at the band's own Heresy House Studio, the mini-album was mixed by Ville Valavuo and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering. Additional vocals were provided by Lotta-Lucia Laine, while the cover photography was created by Thomas Hensher and Aleks Talve. Link
