• "THE BOUNDARY-DEFYING BLACK METAL DEBUT ALBUM FROM SNORRE RUCH, WITH SATYR, ALDRAHN & HELLHAMMER. PRESENTED ON DIGIPACK FORMAT
• Originally formed in 1989 by mastermind Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, & Bård Faust (Emperor), Norwegian band Thorns has inspired a great number of acts such as Satyricon, Mayhem, Dissection, & Emperor, mainly due to Snorre’s highly influential style of playing & creating riffs on the early Thorns demo tapes. So impressed was Euronymous of Mayhem, that Snorre became second guitarist in the band for a while & his riffs were used in classic Mayhem tracks.
• Thorns was the band’s debut (& only, thus far) full-length studio album. It was released in 2001 & is a cult slice of highly individual Norwegian black metal, including experimental & sometimes industrial influences along with synth passages to create a chilling yet clinical slice of extremity. The album was notable for featuring Satyr of Satyricon on vocals, a duty shared between songs with the vocal talent of Aldrahn (ex-Dødheimsgard) & the recording line-up also featured Hellhammer of Mayhem on drums. The outcome was a unique & original album which is today considered a cult classic release by critics.
• This edition of 'Thorns' is presented on digipack format including eight page booklet & includes the bonus tracks 'TSOS' & a demo version of opener, 'Existence'. "
