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.

They are regarded as the most pure death metal band in Norway alongside Cadaver, with a distinct influence from 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 as headliners and supporting bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Suffocation, and Cryptopsy. They 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 leader throughout its career. He writes most of the music while the vocalists write the lyrics.
