Thornspawn have become one
of the leading black metal bands on the American continent since their
formation back in 1993. They hail from Texas in the south and have organized
the "Sacrifice Of The Nazarene Child" festival every year in San Antonion
since 1998. This is actually their third album but the first in cooperation
with their new label Osmose Productions who are known to pick out the best in
extreme metal. The new creation "Wrath Of War" starts out very promising and
the two opening tracks are definitely filled with the wrath of war. Then comes
a filler track before we are in for another relentless frenzy with the title
track. Thornspawn are definitely not in it to play slow ballads and this album
is one of the most intense and furious black metal releases of 2002, at least
so far. This album is something for all of you who enjoy old-school black
metal but would like to hear a modern version where all the technical advances
of the 21st century are taken advantage of. This is the complete opposite of
what Cradle Of Filth are doing. The only problem is that many songs tend to
sound very alike and this spoils the overall experience a little bit. Another
thing is that their sound is not very unique or new which may scare off a
number of possible fans. Relentless, furious, intense black metal á la Marduk
from a band that stands out as being more than just another run of the mill
band. Stand-out tracks: "Vengeance Of The
Hellpreacher".
