Press Reviews "Doom! A word that truly describes anyones own fears, nightmares, personal hell. The atmosphere of sincere dread is a hard one to actually obtain through music, but Thorns of the Carrion have pulled it off really well on this, their latest release. Excellent musical arrangements that drip of melancholy give visions of hopelessness and despair to this listener. And while so-called "doom" bands such as say My Dying Bride rely more on snail speed and negative thinking lyrics, TOTC dig much deeper to really pull it off with overwhelming depth and detail conjuring up great musical emotion from their instruments."-King Fowley (Deceased)Slow, crawling doom that will have you on your hands and knees....You will take many different paths on this rollercoaster ride of doom. Trust me, this is doom metal of the highest caliber. Buy or Die."Metal Core #21
