Thorns V Emperor

Originally formed in 1989 by mastermind Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, and B rd Faust (Emperor), Norwegian band Thorns has inspired a great number of acts such as Satyricon, Mayhem, Dissection, and Emperor. The Thorns part of this disc features reworked and re-recorded versions of cult demo tracks which had been swarming the underground for years. The songs were given a new, clean and powerful lease of life with the razor sharp and chilling riffs. New samples and effects were also added to further the dark and strange atmosphere, lending a slight industrial texture to some parts. Emperor show their wizardry with classical, industrial and electronic renditions of their own, and Thorns, material; a highlight of which is a stellar metallic cover of the Thorns black metal classic, 'rie Descent'. This edition of Thorns Vs Emperor includes 3 bonus tracks.
