Decibel Magazine wrote, 'Each song is packed to the gills—riffs, ferocious drumming, hints of melody, mosh parts to make you bang your head into the wall—and no time is spent being still. Throne are heavy on the black metal side of their sound, not shying away from blast beats, tremolo picking and raspy screams, but there’s a strong presence of boneheaded, downtuned death metal on Pestilent Dawn that really underscores the heaviness and dynamics of the album. Standout tracks on the album include the title track, the heavier-than-average “Beyond Malice” and second track “Amongst the Sinners, They Came Forth.” Plus, the album ends on a high note with the sounds of zombies devouring human flesh, called “Humanity’s Dusk.” No Clean Singing shared, '...when you pick apart the influences in the riffing and song structuring, there’s nothing else you can say it sounds like other than the furious maelstroms of bands like Hate Eternal, Azarath, Marduk and Angelcorpse. The key difference is that the delivery is less “mystical incantations” and more “hammers to your skull”.' Metal Blog, Metalutopia, described Throne as '...everything a band needs to catapult to greatness, and if they can maintain this level of musicianship, the sky's the limit for this death metal outfit from Jackson, Michigan. Pestilent Dawn is an album of the year contender and a tour de force of blackened death metal brutality.'
