The Threnody of Triumph is the third studio album by the English black metal band Winterfylleth, released on 25 September 2012 through Candlelight Records.
The English black metal band Winterfylleth formed in Manchester in 2006 and released two albums—The Ghost of Heritage (2008) and The Mercian Sphere (2010)—before The Threnody of Triumph.
The aim was to combine a sense loss and celebration, which the band tried to do by contrasting the darkness of fast-played black metal with soaring lead singing and vocal harmonies.
[3] Metal.de's Christoph wrote that Winterfylleth combines dense atmosphere and the speed and roughness of 1990s Norwegian black metal with clean vocals and influences from folk music, which is not innovative but has established the band as a major act within its genre.
[4] Toby Cook of Metal Hammer said Winterfylleth's sound has not changed much between albums and is close to the early works of Enslaved.
