IO/BV Track Debut: Wild Throne's "Born To Die"

WILD THRONE - HARVEST OF DARKNESS - COVER

Hailing from a cold and wet corner of Washington state, the prog-minded trio Wild Throne will release their new album Harvest of Darkness on October 2nd via Roadrunner (pre-order), and today we (along with BrooklynVegan) are premiering it’s new single “Born To Die.”

Just like on the title track, you can tell on “Born To Die” that this band was raised on the Mars Volta, At the Drive-In and Glassjaw, simultaneously. Thus its no coincidence that like last year’s Blood Maker EP, this record was produced by Ross Robinson, who worked with the Mars Volta members during the At the Drive-In days, and whose credits also include Glassjaw and The Blood Brothers.

If you like any of those bands, you’re probably gonna dig this too. Check out the video, which features footage of the band playing the song at Saint Vitus in June, below.
