Pale Throne follow up

I posted about this band a few days ago, and I just realized that they actually had a ton of releases in November. And I'm not talking about singles, I mean full blown EP-length releases. Like I mentioned previously, I can't find any social media, or any info really on this band, so I'm just going to drop all these here. I have no idea if these are all new and actually done this month, or old shit. But either way, it's good. Enjoy?
