Wodensthrone was formed in Winterfylleð of 2005, in the Sundered Lands of North Eastern England, by founding members Brunwulf, Wildeþrýð, Gerádwine, and Hréowsian.
In these formative days, the clan's sound was raw and primitive, but still hinted at a sense of sorrow, with lyrics focussing on the darker aspects of England's history.
However, by Eostremonað of 2006, the clan's music had developed both technically and melodically, and so Æðelwalh was recruited on synths. It was at this point that Wodensthrone truly began to resemble their current incarnation, growing both musically and conceptually.
After a number of live assaults, the clan self-recorded the song 'A Tribute To Our Glorious Dead' on a 16-track, and thus the split 7" with fellow kinsmen Niroth was born. The clan also entered the studio to record 2 more songs, 'Scinlaeca' and 'These Isolated Lands' which would eventually emerge on the 'Over The Binding Of The Waves' split CD with Folkvang (Belarus) on Ancient Nation records.
However, the clan still felt incomplete, and so comrade Eldbeorn joined the clan on guitar in the Blotmonað of 2006, completing the line-up and adding further depths of melody and savagery to the clan's sound.
At the dawn of 2007, despite hinderance from personal circumstances, the clan re-entered the studio to record 'The Scouring' and to put the finishing touches to their material for the split with Folkvang.
In Ðrimilcemonað of 2007 the clan were greatly honoured to appear live alongside Negura Bunget and Fen in the Sundered Lands, one of the defining moment's in the clan's history. Later that month the clan also confirmed their alliance with Bindrune Recordings, and began focussing on their debut full length.
During the Weodmonað of 2007, Eldbeorn decided to leave the clan for personal reasons, and so Rædwalh was asked to join in his stead. Now, awaiting the imminent release of the 'Over The Binding Of The Waves' Split CD, the clan are focussed once more on the completion of their debut full length for Bindrune Recordings, and more live assaults across the UK are expected...
Wodensthrone are not part of the mass that may use similar beliefs as a gimmick, fashion or to advocate hogwash propaganda. Wodensthrone's music is a path to Britain's darker pagan antiquity, in remembrance of the ancient land and those that once walked this earth beneath the eternal sun.
