Crimson Thorn – Anthology Of Brutality: 1992-2002 The Complete Collective Works (3-CD Set) will be released on March 28th through Bombworks Records …get the special pre-order price ($4 savings) now. Be quick as there are only 500 available.
Crimson Thorn is one of the most technical and pummeling death metal bands ever! They stand toe to toe with bands like Obituary, Carcass, and Cannibal Corpse. Crimson Thorn is one of the few Christian death metal bands that could ever be put in such an elite category. The vocals are low and ultra-gutteral. One album literally included a liner note warning that no effects were used on the vocals! From beginning to end the blast beats, double bass assaults, gutteral growls, and general death metal fury never lets up. This release features all three albums remastered and combined onto two CDs. These classic albums – “Unearthed” (1994), “Dissection” (1997), and “Purification” (2002) have long been out of print. Fans can once again discover the delight and joy of the deep, distressing, and downright disturbing sounds of Crimson Thorn!
