Thron - Vurias (Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics, Limited Edition)
March 2023, Thron unleashed their fourth full-length Dust - a sonic testament to their relentless evolution and creative hunger. Hailed by fans and critics alike, Dust carved it's mark into the underground and beyond, paving the way for. From the hallowed grounds of Hellfest in Clisson to the thunderous stages of Summer Breeze and Baden In Blut, Thron proved themselves a formidable live force. Sharing stages with titans such as Amon Amarth, Necrophobic, Pestilence, Carcass, Endstille, and more, and embarking on a full European tour with The Spirit, the band cemented their reputation as one of the most compelling acts in the modern blackened metal sphere.
Now, with Vurias, their forthcoming fifth offering, the German-Swiss coven returns in 2025 more feral, more dynamic, and more visionary than ever before. Where Dust bathed in the grandeur of traditional heavy metal, Vurias submerges itself in darker, more volatile waters. The classic influences remain - a spectral echo rather than a defining presence - as a more savage atmosphere takes hold. Yet amid this storm, Thron unveil new layers of sophistication, drawing deeply from their affinity for classic progressive rock and the arcane sonic landscapes of the 70s. Vurias is no mere follow-up - it is a bold expansion of Thron's artistic scope. Saxophones wail like ghosts, Hammond organs swell with dread, and vintage synthesizers shimmer through the darkness, crafting a rich tapestry that sets this album apart. Songs like "The Hunter & The Prey" and the haunting "Ungemach (Stilles Ende)" showcase this alchemy in full force. The latter is further elevated by the unmistakable voice of Zingultus (Endstille, Nagelfar, Morast, Graupel), whose spectral presence adds a chilling gravitas, while none other than Norman Lonhard (ex-Triptykon, ex-Fear My Thoughts, Dead Eyed Creek) lends his percussive mastery - an artist whose long-standing creative bond with PVIII brings added depth and cohesion. Crowned by the masterful artwork of Daniele Valeriani (Behemoth, Candlemass, Mayhem, Dark Funeral, Triptykon) and sonically woven into perfection by Christoph Brandes // Iguana Studios (The Spirit, Imperium Dekadenz, Necrophagist), the album rises as a tempest-raw, relentless, and animalistic in it's intensity. With Vurias, Thron do not simply continue their journey - they transcend their past and carve a new path through the shadows. Prepare to be consumed.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
