Formed in the mid nineties, Throne of Chaos (also known as TOC) have been dubbed "Children Of Bodom's Kid Brother". And rightfully so; they play the same kind of music, and hail from the same area as Bodom. After a couple demos, the band released "Menace and Prayer". The album was highly successful, and for a lot of reasons; it had everything people came to expect from the genre known as "Heavy Black", guitar harmonies, a slight neo-classical feel, in-your-face vocals (not referring to the COB album), and powerful drumming.
