Blood Red Throne
Blood Red Throne is a Norwegian death metal band. They were formed in Kristiansand, Norway, in 1998 by former Satyricon live-guitarist Daniel "Død" Olaisen.
Stylistically, they are regarded as the most-pure death metal band in Norway alongside Cadaver, with a distinct influence from what is known as Florida death metal. They are known for their energetic live-performances.
Blood Red Throne have released twelve studio albums as of December 2025. They have toured large parts of the world multiple times – both as headliners and as a supporting act for bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Suffocation, and Cryptopsy – and have performed at festivals including Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Bloodstock, 70000 Tons of Metal, and Norway’s Hole in the Sky.
Founder Olaisen is the only permanent member and has been the band’s stated leader throughout its entire career. He writes the music for most of the songs, while the lyrics are written by the vocalists.
