Thorn – Bitter Portion – Review

Thorn

Bitter Portion (Roadrunner)
by Scott Hefflon

I’m surprised these NY veterans don’t have a buzz both above and underground. Smooth and hypnotically melodic, while heavy and snarling at other times. Thorn has elements of punk, grind, and doom, all subtly compacted into a well-crafted, eerie, electronic/organic tribal mix. The vocals kinda get on my nerves, but the songs are amazing.
