Wodensthrone was a Sunderland-based English band specializing in atmospheric black metal, established in 2005. Throughout their career, they produced two full-length studio albums along with two split releases.
History
The band originated in Sunderland in 2005 with members Brunwulf, Wildeþrýð, Gerádwine, and Hréowsian. Their early work included two split albums: Wodensthrone/Niroth (2006) and Over the Binding of the Waves (2008), which attracted attention within underground metal circles. This exposure led to a partnership with Edmond Karban, formerly of Negurǎ Bunget, for their first full album titled Loss. Released in 2009, Loss received critical praise and resulted in a deal with Candlelight Records, who re-released the album in 2010. Their second studio album, Curse, followed under Candlelight Records in 2012.
In March 2016, the departure of founding guitarist Wildeþrýð triggered the band's decision to dissolve.
