Picture disc with cover. Limited 666 copies

Even though Embrace of Thorns hails from Greece, they retain no trace of the Hellenic black metal sound. Nope, this is all about Blasphemy, Angelcorpse, Sarcofago, and Beherit worship. There really isn’t much to be said about this, fans of this style will love this if you are not a fan of war metal as it’s called then this is not going to change your viewpoint. This music if relentless and very dark, the blastbeats never stop except to play occasional doom riffs and the guitar work is sloppily played, but effective in it’s chaotic nature. The bass pretty much doesn’t exist, actually the guitars are tuned so low they really do not need bass player. This album is actually pretty short consisting of 8 songs and 4 intros it doesn’t really over stay its welcome. This is pure Blasphemy worship here just listen to the beginning of “Victorious March of the Predator” it sounds almost exactly like “Ritual”. So those into War metal will probably enjoy this and in general, those enamoured of the whole Nuclear War Now and Hell’s Headbangers stables should also find much to admire.
