They've elevated their unique style of barbaric old school death metal blended with emotionally-charged atmospheric parts which very few bands are able to pull off convincingly. As if reminiscing about bittersweet memories, the music instinctively oscillates between angry, bludgeoning parts and poignant, wistful tunes. This contrast works beautifully for their kind of doomy death metal music, and even better so on this album which has more pronounced death metal influences along with comparatively more fleshed out structures. Interestingly, the songs on the album start getting more violent after the initial comforting lull, drawing in unsuspecting new listeners and preparing them for the ritualistic slaughter, after which they go back to their dreamlike state, closing with the triumphant title track which perfectly encapsulates their sound. Thorn have come up with a refreshing and fulfilling album that's just as powerful as it's evocative, and one that will be talked about for aeons to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFFO: Desecresy, Intestine Baalism, Edge of Sanity, Desultory, Fumes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47066881360156,"sku":"576445","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1908\/2780\/products\/4213c789b48b96339befd0b8b17a37d1.jpg?v=1697721473"},{"product_id":"thorn-evergloom-hand-numbered-edition-cassette","title":"Thorn \"Evergloom\" Hand-numbered Edition Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are high quality imported cassettes having full body prints of that stunning artwork on both the sides on black cassette shells which look outstanding.

The album will have the listener rocking back and forth in its asphyxiating grasp like a pin-pricked voodoo ragdoll. The stench of sickness is thick and pervades the entire recording. Brennen has come up with meatier, denser, chuggier songs on this record while retaining the band's primal essence and there is more death metal than doom found on this recording. There are still moments where gleaming leads come in and brighten up the proceedings but it remains a dark, fetid and glutinous affair through and through. The corpulent grooves stand out the most and form the bulk of this recording. If you like the idea of death metal sounding massive, ponderous, and packed with heaving, earth-rumbling parts, this album is most certainly meant for you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of - Mortician, Fumes, Wharflurch, Fluids, Intestine Baalism, Retching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54465163657500,"sku":"639770","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1908\/2780\/files\/4cd42367d0c4bdb1ebd6f9e299109d77.jpg?v=1787582837"}],"url":"https:\/\/transcendingobscurity.indiemerch.com\/collections\/thorn.oembed","provider":"Transcending Obscurity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
