Furnace was formed in 2019 by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Demiurg, The Grotesquery) and Peter Svensson (Assassin's Blade, Void Moon) based on their mutual love for horror fantasy concept albums. Musically, Furnace follows in the strong tradition of melodic Death Metal in the style of Edge of Sanity combined with elements of Paradise Lost.
“Eternally Enthroned” is the band's sixth full-length release, following “Black Stone Church” (2020), ”Dark Vistas” (2020), “Stellarum” (2022), the triple album “The Casca Trilogy” (2023) and “Trojan Hearse” (2024). Keeping with Furnace tradition the album is a full-on concept album. This time the story is a high fantasy narrative. The story follows our hero Thornblade, who after a failed assassination of the Tyrant King is forced on a quest to seek out the Goddess of Death and convince her to spare the King from his inevitable demise. To achieve this, Thornblade must find the ancient weapon Godsbane, which can slay deities. Thornblade succeeds in his quest, yet the gift from the Goddess is a double-edged sword since the Tyrant King receives immortality but only as long as he physically remains on his throne. In time, all around him either desert him or die, leaving him alone and Eternally Enthroned...
