Infernal Thorns are a band from Chile that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Christus Venari" which will be released in September by Personal Records.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's European style.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to an old school style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the music also sounds like it cold of easily been recorded and released more then 25 years ago, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing and later tracks also introducing clean playing, spoken words and synths onto the album.
Infernal Thorns plays a musical style that goes back to the mid 90's era of melodic and brutal black and death metal. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover darkness, death and blasphemy themes.
In my opinion Infernal Thorns are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Death Chants" "Black Flesh" "Profane The Mass" and "Illuminated By The Flames". 8 out of 10.
