Defending the Throne of Evil is the fourth studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Carpathian Forest. It was released on September 23, 2003 by Season of Mist. A remastered, deluxe double LP version with a bonus track was also released in 2007.

The sonority of Defending the Throne of Evil is largely different from other Carpathian Forest albums, being their more melodic one so far; relying heavily on symphonic interludes, saxophones and synthesizers, it is loosely reminiscent of symphonic black metal.[1]
