Hammerdown & Obsidian Gathering presents...Oakenthrone plus special guests TBA
Oakenthrone was formed in 2022 by founder and composer Simon Nagington. Originally as a solo project; his unique take on the black metal genre was forged in the 2 track tape releases of EMBERS OF REVERIE (2024) and ASTRAL BINDING & THE OATHSWORN (2025). Both of these cassettes sold out immediately and pushed Oakenthrone to the top of the Bandcamp UK Black Metal page where it has retained a foothold since.
2025 saw Oakenthrone develop into a full live band. Recruiting Nathan Caven (ex-Sathamel), Andrew Hunt (ex-Pist) and Ant Hurlock (ex-Mairu); the debut live performance came in October at Call Of The Crow festival to huge praise. A festival exclusive split cassette with fellow festival performers and dungeon synth stalwarts, Gate Master, was put out. These tracks, along with the previous cassettes were later packaged together for DARKWOODS Records in a CD format - PATHS ONCE TRODDEN (2024-2025).
In March 2026, Oakenthrone joined Scottish black metal pioneers, Saor, on the UK leg of their Amidst the Ruins tour. Becoming a pivotal moment for the band and cemented them as a commanding live force in the UK scene.
2026 will see the release of Oakenthrone’s debut album AD SILVAM through VENDETTA Records. A culmination of all that has come before, this is a true forging of a new path.
