5 Norwegians
and their session synthesizer player make up this blackened death metal
outfit. I hear a lot of old Incantation in them, as well as some In Aeternum,
and maybe can compare some sections to Abominator. Apparently, Bloodthorn take
their influences from both Old World black metal and death metal from the New
World, which is a combination bound to produce something good. The booming
production causes a nightmarish trepidation to loom from your speakers as
"The Return Of Wrath" kicks in, annihilating everything in its way and
spitting on the rubble with tasty leads provided by Alex. Krell has a pretty
good range on the vocal end, and the synthesizers stick out on tracks like
"After The Attack". A sci-fi / armageddon predominance in the lyrics and
layout likely helped these guys land a deal with the mighty Red Stream
Records, but their music can easily stand on its own on any roster, or in any
CD collection. A Mayhem song, with the legendary Necrobutcher on session bass,
closes this CD off in Norwegian style. Their musical consolidation should
appeal to most fans of any form of extreme metal, with the exception of the
technical aficianados, and I look forward to hearing more from these Trondheim
residents. FAVORITE TRACKS: "Age Of Suffering", "Mass
Destruction".
