The American band Thorns Of The Carrion started out in 1993
and after two demos they decided to record this debut album which was released
in June 1997. The band is part of the American doom metal scene which has come
to grow rather big during the second half of the 1990's. Deep and dark
growling, clean wailing vocals and dark symphonic passages is what lays the
foundation for their music. The beautiful keyboards and flutes from the
band's only female member Leslie Anderson is a very important part of their
music and without these elements they would not be much more than an average
doom metal band but much thanks to her Thorns Of The Carrion manage to create
some interesting songs. Emotions such as sorrow, sadness, passion and darkness
dominate the lyrics which is not really unusual for a doom metal band. So is
having very long songs and this is something Thorns Of The Carrion has managed
to do very well, one of the tracks even being 18+ minutes long. The band has
done well with their first release and these nine symphonies of dirge should
most likely appeal to most true fans of doom
metal.
