Thoren (Instrumental Brutal Death)

[vgguru39]

We are releasing our first EP. It's instrumental brutal progressive death. A lot of hard work went into this and I'm quite proud of the result. Let us know what you think! Mixed and Mastered by Colin Marston.

"Hey Anthony, sounds great. Haven't been listening to a ton of metal recently, but this hits the spot. Well thought out, well performed, and totally memorable. Thanks for sharing! I think the drum programming sounds excellent..." - Charlie Werber (Murmur) "Thoren is a little more my usual style, I definitely hear some of that jagged, dissonant death metal in there. Kind of Gorguts but with a personality its own, and a bit more brutal at times. I especially like the last part of the song starting at 4:05 where you get really abstract and throw in the Demilich riff - well done!" - Will Smith talking about the track Shelob (Artificial Brain, Buckshot Facelift)

I think my life just got flipped turned upside down.. But really, I liked the clean part at about 0:50 on Gwerlum, the bass was meandering around in a cool way and the echoey guitar went well with it. then it came back at 1:42 i was like, ah, nice, you knew where you were goin with that one, . Ungoliant was really cool, prolly my favorite. It was easier to grab onto what I was hearing for some reason, it was prolly the drums, but yeah. The solo at 1:50 or so was AWESOME, i love center stage atonal solos like that, its rare to hear that stuff pulled off well.

I actually really dig this man. Some really cool stuff going on here. Good thing you made it instrumental!!

 

[Sepultorture]

really digging this, no vocals makes for the enjoyment of the shear brutality of just the music and instruments alone

also the composition is excellent, a nice balance of head on brutal with touches dis-harmonic melodies and clean almost jazzy passages where instruments wander from each other but also complement each other still

def gunna get this and spin the shit out of it in my car mate \m/

Might anyone be interested in writing a review and posting it on the Metal-Archives? It'd be quite helpful!

The next Thoren release, entitled Brennanberg, is beginning the recording process today starting with Christopher Burrows (Coma Cluster Void, Vihaan) laying down drums. It will be a full length that's much darker than the EP. Prepare yourselves.
