Thorns (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thorns is a Norwegian black metal band. They made two highly influential demos in the early 1990s, Grymyrk and Trøndertun, but have only officially released one recording since it was founded in 1989.

Formed by Snorre W. Ruch, Marius Vold and Faust (Bård G. Eithun) in 1989 under the moniker "Stigma Diabolicum". After the first demo was done, Stigma Diabolicum began dissolving, and after "Trøndertun" Snorre W. Ruch continued Thorns as a solo project, with help from several prominent personas in the black metal scene. The "release" of the now legendary demos/rehearsal tapes "Grymyrk" and "Trøndertun" in the early 1990s, had a great impact on the black metal scene.
After a long period of silence, Thorns reappeared in 1999 with the split album Thorns Vs Emperor, consisting mainly of old Thorns songs performed by Emperor and vice versa. Thorns Vs Emperor was meant to introduce Thorns to the scene and to a newer audience, unaware of Thorns earlier efforts. Then, in 2001, the long awaited debut album Thorns was released, which featured famed Norwegian drummer Hellhammer and was largely well-received by the metal community.
