Serpent Throne Reigning at KFN Oct. 14

Clang that cowbell a little harder for Serpent Throne, the devil horns shone brightly while the band rode the lightning through previous albums Ride Satan Ride and The Battle of Old Crow. But Serpent Throne, whose double powered guitar progressions echo masters like Tommy Iommi and Randy Rhoads, is really ready to pull out all the stops with their latest album “White Summer Black Winter”, which is set to be released this month. The band has also recently become the newest acquisition of Philadelphia’s Translation Loss Records. And when they open up for the crazy, tripped out minimalist movement of Joe Preston’s Thrones tonight at Kung Fu Necktie, it’s destined to be one wicked combo. However, if you are only interested in checking out Serpent Throne and are low on the flow, they’ll be returning to KFNN next Friday for free. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
