So impressed was Euronymous of 'Mayhem', that Snorre became second guitarist in the band for a while \u0026amp; his riffs were used in classic 'Mayhem' tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Thorns Vs Emperor' was originally released in 1999 \u0026amp; was the first official output from Snorre, besides the early cult 'Thorns' demo material \u0026amp; rehearsal recordings. It had previously been discussed with Samoth of metal titans 'Emperor' that the 2 bands could release something together as a collaboration \u0026amp; later Satyr of 'Satyricon' became involved to make the project happen, also lending his vocals to the 'Thorns' tracks on offer here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'Thorns' part of this disc features reworked \u0026amp; re-recorded versions of the aforementioned demo tracks, which had been swarming the underground for years. The songs were given a new, clean \u0026amp; powerful lease of life with the razor sharp \u0026amp; chilling riffs. New samples \u0026amp; effects were also added to further the dark \u0026amp; strange atmosphere, lending a slight industrial texture to some parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Emperor' show their wizardry with classical, industrial \u0026amp; electronic renditions of their own \u0026amp; 'Thorns', a highlight of which is a stellar metallic cover of the 'Thorns' black metal classic, 'AErie Descent'. This was from a time when 'Emperor' was highly active \u0026amp; one of the leading forces in the metal world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of 'Thorns Vs Emperor' includes 3 bonus tracks. The first song is a rare version of Thorns' 'You That Mingle May' with Satyr \u0026amp; Fenriz of 'Darkthrone' on vocals. Also included are 2 pre-production versions of the 'Thorns' songs 'AErie Descent' \u0026amp; 'The Discipline Of Earth'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmperor 'Exordium' ( 03:00 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'Aerie Descent' ( 08:34 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmperor 'I Am' ( 05:05 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmperor 'Aerie Descent' ( 06:06 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmperor 'Thus March The Night Spirit' ( 05:40 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'Melas Khole' ( 06:31 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'The Discipline Of Earth' ( 07:40 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'Cosmic Keys To My Creations \u0026amp; Times' ( 06:12 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'You That Mingle May' ( 02:49 ) ( Bonus Track )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'The Discipline Of Earth' ( Pre-Production Mix ) ( 06:45 ) ( Bonus Track )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThorns 'Aerie Descent' ( Pre-Production Mix ) ( 06:29 ) ( Bonus Track )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421401829761,"sku":"1881657","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0801056732521.jpg?v=1750649342","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1881657","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
