Thorns

Back to Norway again-- this time the very influential, yet marginally known act... Thorns. For all intents and purposes Thorns is the musical vehicle for Snorre W. Ruch, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and served 8 years for being an accomplice in Euronymous' (Mayhem) murder, which added to his lack of wide visibility in the scene until his 2001 self titled album. Previously to his 2001 debut, he released Thorns vs Emperor, in an attempt to reintroduce himself to the scene as a prelude to Thorns. Ruch has also been a longtime collaborator with Satyricon, contributed to writing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and in a general sense his unique approach to sonic barbarity and unconventional songwriting can be felt throughout the black metal and extreme metal scenes.
