10 years! That’s about what it has taken to complete one of the most anticipated albums in the history of Black Metal. Although the actual material has been made and recorded between 1998 and 2000, the Thorns album is something the Black Metal underground have been waiting for since the early nineties. Thorns have inspired most of the leading Black Metal bands of today in one way or another. There are different sides to Norwegian Black Metal, but that eerie sounding riffing which is a big part of the sound, Thorns started back in 1990. Back then Thorns was seen as mellow, dark and slow. It’s still mellow and dark, but it’s a lot more dynamic now and the intensity and the relentless drive is a new side of Thorns. That incredible guitar sound is still there, but it’s now a part of a bigger entity rather than the only thing which was very much the case with the famous Grymyrk tapes. The album is also starring Hellhammer of Mayhem on live-drums, Aldrahn of DHG on vox and Satyr from Satyricon on vox and as co-producer.
A very diverse and original album which is going to demand a whole lot from the listener and competing bands. It should appeal as much to the hard-core Black Metal fan as the one generally interested in dark and innovative music. Thorns - The ultimate manifest!
