Album stream

after many years of having a rather "unified" sound to The Queenstons, i decided to go back and explore old concepts with newfound creative abilities, reinterpreting a lot of older work in completely different ways, and in many cases, flipping the overall emotional tone of the original tunes on their head.

Trivia

• The album features two aliases that had been retired, Emoticon and JAQL. JAQL has had previous releases since being retired, but this marks Emoticon's first appearance since being retired.
• Several pre-release previews stylize the album's title as "de//THRONE"
• Renard's She's an Angel was originally included on evereffervescent.
• An alternate remix of Humanoid was also created by Mayhem back in 2011, included on #BASEDSHARK.
• The artist released a full version of the artwork, including a face. This full version is included in the gallery.
• The album includes at least one remix from every Queenstons' release, except PROW13 and Undertones. A remix of Eisschicht was planned, but was scrapped and later released on 2014​-​CURRENT / selected research.
• The artwork depicts an unnamed humanoid figure (stated to be based off of RQ) sitting among the rubble of the statue from the Figurehead artwork, now destroyed. The destruction of the Figurehead statue represents 'ego death'. This is further emphasized by the Facebook post announcing the album stating 'a critical retrospection of The Queenstons as ego.'
• Instrumental versions of 13 of the tracks were released on Patreon prior to the album's release. The instrumental album was released on December 3, 2014 for the $4+ supporters. These instrumental tracks were later released to the public and added to the full album on March 23, 2022.
• Chemical structures can be seen in the background of the album artwork; they are as follows: MDMA (top left) Psilocybin (center right) 5-HTP (bottom left) 4-AcO-DMT (bottom right) 7-hydroxymitragynine (top right, a reference to the song c23h30n2o5 from Bad Future Bullshit) and a 2C chemical (center left).
• RQ and Bandetto were originally planned to be included on the album.
• The instrumental for Figurehead was never released due to the files for it being broken.
