Crown Of Bone is the blacked noise project of Indianan based Dustin Alan Redington, and this full length CDR release is the projects 7th release, & it appeared in late 2012. The project, that has seemingly been in existence since mid 2012, has thus far put out around 13 release, with quite a few of them being splits.

The release comes in the Altar of Waste house style see-through DVD case. And this  features on the front cover the projects fairly indecipherable black metal like logo, and an inversed picture of an old printing showing an huge angel figure stabbing demons with a spear above an ancient build-less landscape. The reversed sleeve picture is of an old murky oil painting showing a group of mist shrouded black gowned figures moving towards an overgrown church tower.  The release comes in a edition of 50 copies, so your more likely to still get hold of this compared with some of this labels smaller pressings.

The album features six tracks in all, and these fall between just over the six minute mark to near on fifteen minute mark. These tracks go from the opening “Devoid Of The Devoured” which starts out as a mixture of cold & spaced out black metal guitar strikes & guttural/ moaning vocals. Before dropping into a careering mixture of chopping ‘n’ juddering  blacked walled noise,  billowing ‘n’ roasting Harsh noise twists, bayed & sweeping blacked barks, and slight / buried hints at more dark majestic mood setting revered up dark ambience. 

Through to “Matriarch Of Disembowelment” with it’s opening mixture of tribal/ militant drum beats, ominous swooping blacked guitar tone & wall noise crackly. Before later  on locking down in intense raging & flaming mixture of churning walled noise, seared harsh noise, & barked vocal roastings.

Onto the  near all out attack of “Throne Of Skeletal Remains” which offers up a sonically scalding & roasting mixture of grating & descending mid-ranged blacked noise, distant baying from hell guttural barks, and seared walled noise scrubs.  Before it later slides into reverb seared mix of blacked guitar chug & vocal bays.

On the whole "Throne of Cacophony" is an extremely intense & unforgiving mixture of noise & blacked/ doomed metal. I just felt at times the tracks did stick to fairly similar structural templates, and it would have been nice to have slightly longer dwells in the more metallic/ atmospheric elements- but if you enjoy this type of prime evil & all engulfing extreme genre cross-breeding this is well worth checking out.
