Origin Portugal
Thrownness is an atmospheric sludge and post metal band from Lisbon, Portugal, built around Kévin Guimet’s original vision. The current formation includes Kévin Guimet on guitar and vocals, Micas on bass and vocals, Tiago Rodrigues on guitar, and João Fernandes on drums. After several lineup changes, “Marrow Part II: A Fire Through The Ether” arrives as their second EP, following “Marrow” from 2024, released through Raging Planet Records.
“Marrow Part II: A Fire Through The Ether” is a slow, heavy and bleak release that knows its own path. Thrownness deals in long forms, grinding riffs, low tempo movement and dark atmosphere. This is not music built for quick hooks or easy payoff. It takes time, digs into grief, loss and inner collapse, and lets the sound crawl through those places with enough force to make the EP matter.
The good part is that the band has a real grip on space and tension. The guitars stretch with a grim tone, the bass adds depth, the drums guide the whole structure with patience, and the vocals come in raw enough
for the cold climate of the music. There are moments where the EP reaches a heavy emotional peak, especially when the riffing opens into wider atmospheric passages and the sound becomes more oppressive.
The weaker side is also obvious. Some parts stay on the same idea longer than needed, and the EP sometimes asks the atmosphere to do more work than the riffs can handle. That does not ruin the release, it simply stops it from reaching a higher level. Thrownness has strong material here, although a few sections could use more attack, more variation and a firmer final blow.
“Marrow Part II: A Fire Through The Ether” is a good EP with real depth, strong atmosphere and enough heaviness to leave a mark. It is not a killer release, and it has parts that drag, although it shows a band moving in the right direction with a darker, more focused sound. Thrownness has the tools. Next time they need to sharpen them more.
