Under The Reviled Throne is the second full-length studio album from the American technical death metal band Summoning The Lich.

Summoning The Lich return with the latest installment in their fantasy universe of technical death metal. Following the events of their established world of Arrias on their debut album, United In Chaos, Under the Reviled Throne sees the next chapter of the Lich come to life through tales of isolationist kingdoms, malevolent mages, witch queens and cannibalistic armies hellbent on destruction.

After three years of extensive US touring and shows with the likes of Allageon, Gorod and Inferi among others, as well as headline stints, Summoning The Lich set about bringing Under the Reviled Throne to life. Intended as a death metal equivalent of sorts to The Empire Strikes Back in scope, the group set their sights on raising the stakes in both story and songwriting.

Recorded throughout 2023 at Sicktones Studio with Jack Daniels, Summoning The Lich took the considered approach of eschewing superfluous technicality in favour of a leaner and more streamlined focus on song structure. Each of the tracks on Under the Reviled Throne were written with the purpose of guiding the listener through the eponymous Lich's descent into misanthropy and tyranny, without sacrificing their idiosyncratic sound.
