about

Right after the recordings of our debut EP in 2015, we started writing songs which later will form the “About the dead” album. In contrast with the EP, the songs became more melodic, yet the sludge feeling keeping in mind, evolving to a more doom / post metal sub genre. Every song has his own identity, but forms a unique sound remarkable for Throatsnapper.
It took about three years. This shows a well thought writing process, for approximately 37 minutes, six songs of grief. Yes, grief. Every song and their lyrics are based on those for the band members important persons who followed their path, which is set, leading to death.
Without elaborating every song, there is one song, ‘Dodenmars’, which is an own interpretation of a traditional song named ‘Dodenmars van Wortel’.
In June 2018, the songs were recorded at the Much Love Studio, by Tim De Gieter, known for his earlier work with bands such as Brutus, Amenra, Barst,... and mastered by Maurice de Jong from Gnaw their Tongues. The artwork is done by Misanthropic art, basic but effective, just like the music!
