{"product_id":"2598719","title":"Thorns - Thorns [CD]","description":"THE BOUNDARY-DEFYING BLACK METAL DEBUT ALBUM FROM SNORRE RUCH, WITH SATYR, ALDRAHN \u0026amp; HELLHAMMER. PRESENTED ON DIGIPACK FORMAT.\r\n\r\nOriginally formed in 1989 by mastermind Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, \u0026amp; Bard Faust (Emperor), Norwegian band \"Thorns\" has inspired a great number of acts such as Satyricon, Mayhem, Dissection \u0026amp; Emperor, mainly due to Snorre's highly influential style of playing \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; his riffs were used in classic Mayhem tracks.\u003cp\u003e'Thorns' was the band's debut (\u0026amp; only, thus far) full-length studio album. It was released in 2001 \u0026amp; is a cult slice of highly individual Norwegian black metal, including experimental \u0026amp; 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-Dodheimsgard) \u0026amp; the recording line-up also featured Hellhammer of Mayhem on drums. The outcome was a unique \u0026amp; original album which is today considered a cult classic release by critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of 'Thorns' is presented on digipack format including eight page booklet \u0026amp; includes the bonus tracks 'TSOS' \u0026amp; a demo version of opener, 'Existence'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419352617345,"sku":"2598719","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0801056722034.jpg?v=1750535521","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2598719","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
