 | Description: | CLASSIC 1999 RELEASE FEATURING TWO NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL LEGENDARY BANDS â?? INCLUDES RARE BONUS TRACKS
Originally formed in 1989 by mastermind Snorre Ruch, Marius Vold, and BÃ¥rd Faust (Emperor), Norwegian band Thorns has inspired a great number of acts such as Satyricon, Mayhem, Dissection, and Emperor, mainly due to Snorreâ??s highly influential style of playing and creating riffs on the early Thorns demo tapes. So impressed was Euronymous of Mayhem, that Snorre became second guitarist in the band for a while and his riffs were used in classic Mayhem tracks.
â??Thorns Vs Emperorâ?? was originally released in 1999 and was the first official output from Snorre, besides the early cult Thorns demo material and rehearsal recordings. It had previously been discussed with Samoth of metal titans Emperor that the two bands could release something together as a collaboration, and later Satyr of Satyricon became involved to make the project happen, also lending his vocals to the Thorns tracks on offer here.
The Thorns part of this disc features reworked and re-recorded versions of the aforementioned demo tracks, which had been swarming the underground for years. The songs were given a new, clean and powerful lease of life with the razor sharp and chilling riffs. New samples and effects were also added to further the dark and strange atmosphere, lending a slight industrial texture to some parts.
Emperor show their wizardry with classical, industrial and electronic renditions of their own, and Thorns, material; a highlight of which is a stellar metallic cover of the Thorns black metal classic, â??Ã?rie Descentâ??. This was from a time when Emperor was highly active and one of the leading forces in the metal world.
This edition of Thorns Vs Emperor includes 3 bonus tracks. The first song is a rare version of Thornsâ?? â??You that Mingle Mayâ?? with Satyr and Fenriz of Darkthrone on vocals. Also included are 2 pre-production versions of the Thorns songs â??Ã?rie Descentâ??, and â??The Discipline of Earthâ??. - HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL"Thorns Vs Emperor" is a legendary collaborative LP that brings together two of Norway's most influential black metal acts: Thorns and Emperor. Released by the renowned label Peaceville, this album stands as a testament to the genre?s innovative spirit at the turn of the millennium. The record features reimagined tracks from both bands, blending Thorns? cold, industrial-tinged soundscapes with Emperor?s symphonic and atmospheric approach to black metal. This unique fusion delivers an intense listening experience that showcases each band?s strengths while pushing creative boundaries. Peaceville Records has long been celebrated for its pivotal role in promoting extreme music genres since its founding in 1987, supporting iconic artists such as My Dying Bride, Katatonia, and Darkthrone.
Thorns Vs. Emperor are not just names but pillars within Norwegian black metal history. Thorns (the project of Snorre Ruch) helped shape early second-wave black metal with his innovative guitar work and dark atmospheres; meanwhile, Emperor?fronted by Ihsahn?are widely regarded as one of the genre's most sophisticated and influential acts thanks to their classic albums like "In the Nightside Eclipse." Both have left indelible marks on heavy music worldwide. |  | No. of tracks: |
