Litany of Proper Death 

Release Date: May,12, 2025



Oakenthrone unveil new Single Litany of Proper Death 




Weaving  through the backdrop via 16th century imagery of Christ's Descents into Hell and also the name of an Elden ring ring spell the tracks structure begins with a narrative from Werner Herzog, Burden of Dreams and with the way the soundscape in constructed it instantly enriches the atmospheric tempo shift.


Both lyrically and vocally it is apparent the aesthetic throughout has been well thought out which plays out through the near 7 minute track not only in sound but the strong and focused production .



There is certainly a rawness throughout but it is cascaded around tempo switches and atmospherics that demonstrate that Oakenthrone undoubtably have honed in on what I hope to be a direction for future releases.
