Originating in the town of Lebanon, OH, At the Throne of Judgment was formed in late 2005 and within two years, vocalist Eric Kemp, guitarist Brad Weaver, bassist Adam McKibben, and drummer Roger Hensley were releasing their debut album, The Arcanum Order, through Rise Records. Unlike most of the label's post-emo-focused roster (featuring bands like Drop Dead Gorgeous and the Devil Wears Prada), At the Throne of Judgment specialize in brutal, Scandinavian-brewed death metal topped with historical lyrics. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
