Release Notes:
Originally formed in 1989 by mastermind Snorre
Ruch, Marius Vold, and Bσrd Faust (Emperor),
Norwegian band Thorns has inspired a great number
of acts such as Satyricon, Mayhem, Dissection, and
Emperor, mainly due to Snorre'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.
'Thorns Vs Emperor' was the first release after
Snorre emerged from an 8 year prison stretch, and
saw light of day in 1999. It had been discussed
with Samoth of Emperor during this time that the 2
bands could release something together, 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 cult 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, '╞rie Descent'. 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
Thorns' 'You that Mingle May' with Satyr and
Fenriz of Darkthrone on vocals. Also included are
2 pre-production versions of the Thorns songs
'╞rie Descent', and 'The Discipline of Earth'.
