Hailing from England, OAKENTHRONE reveal the first glimpse into their forthcoming debut full-length offering, “Ad Silvam”. The album is about to be released on November 20th via Vendetta Records.

OAKENTHRONE’S debut album, “Ad Silvam”, thematically explores both the entropy of life and the atrophy of death. The temptations of the immortality that only death can offer, the terror of the concept of eternity, and the divinity of nature; the great equaliser, where men, beasts and gods are all destined to return, as one, to the soil.

Musically, each track tells a story. A saga that weaves between moments of unbridled rage, to the peaks of epic grandeur and the depths of melancholic introspection. Soaring melodies, monolithic riffs and blistering aggression with moments of brief, quiet reflection.

Written over the span of 12 months by Simon Nagington, now with the aid of the rest of OAKENTHRONE, “Ad Silvam” was recorded by the band themselves and mixed and mastered by Sam Turbitt at Ritual Studios in the spring of 2026. The artwork is an original oil painting created for the album by Simon Chognot.
