Finnish death/thrash metal band Jewel Throne have released “Dream World Dystopia,” the second single and accompanying video from their upcoming release The Obsidian Sculptor, due out on 27 November 2026.
The longest track on The Obsidian Sculptor, “Dream World Dystopia” takes a less straightforward approach to songwriting, moving through contrasting moods and arrangements before reaching an extended solo section with a distinctly classic heavy metal feel. The track reflects Jewel Throne’s approach to combining death and thrash metal with melodic and progressive elements, while leaving room for detailed guitar work and shifts in atmosphere.
About Jewel Throne
Formed in 2019, Finnish death/thrash metal band Jewel Throne combine aggressive riffing with melodic and progressive passages, blistering guitar solos, and lyrics addressing personal struggles and the state of the world. Their current lineup has been together since 2020, developing a strong and collaborative approach to songwriting and arrangements.
Most of the music is written by bassist Mika Sallanen, with vocalist Jesse Huovinen handling the majority of the lyrics. Guitarist Toni Koskinen also contributes to the songwriting, while the entire band — including drummer Jouni Kurikka — is involved in shaping and refining each track. The result is a sound that avoids repetition, balancing straightforward sections with more layered arrangements.
The Obsidian Sculptor follows three EPs released between 2020 and 2025 and the band’s 2024 debut album. With the new release, Jewel Throne have taken their songwriting and production further while retaining the raw energy at the heart of their death/thrash sound
