There's just something more to Iron Thrones than to almost any other new progressive (melodic) death metal act. More precisely, I'm talking about true emotion, which is in abundance on this record. While Visions of Light was a solid debut album on a technical level, it sounded too much like many other bands in the genre. The Wretched Sun sees Iron Thrones finding their own sound, which is a superb mix of death metal, progressive metal and post-metal. This is quite possibly the EP of the year for me, because I haven't found such good musicianship coupled with such burning emotion in this genre in a long time. If these guys will firmly continue on the path they have set themselves upon with this release, they are most certainly going to places.

I like this. You might not. But I do. Just my opinion. Don't worry, yours is valid too!

After releasing a forgettable debut album, Iron Thrones are back, and they mean business. Every aspect of the group's sound has shown much improvement as they progress into a style of their own.

Rarely does an album match my excitement and enthusiasm towards it before it's release. It's been a fairly long month and a half waiting for 'The Wretched Sun' and I can say that each and every moment of anticipation was completely worth it.

Staying with the path they chose on Visions of Light is just not going to cut it for The Wretched Sun. This particular EP is just boring, as it relies on repetitive chords to drive each of the 6 songs which range from 5 minutes all the way to 11 minutes. You will hear a change up or two, where the song slows down but even this is not enough to keep you from nodding off nor are the minimal guitar leads/solos.
