THÅRN are powerful new contenders in Britain's thriving post-metal scene. Formed just prior to global lockdowns before ever playing a show, the London based duo could have easily called it quits right there, but persevered to write and record their hard-hitting debut album COLLISIONS. A perfect marriage between textured sludge metal, fiery post-hardcore and blackened atmospheres, THÅRN capture a nuanced sound that can be as cerebral as it can urgent and highly emotive.
THÅRN consists of Luke Booth (We Never Learned To Live, ex-Human Future) and Jérôme Barré (Finis Omnivm, Screensaver) successfully finding a dark and pained sound that evokes so vividly the torment of isolation, restriction and stagnation into four lengthy, apocalyptic songs. Producer Joe Clayton (Pijn, Leeched) has captured THÅRN's explosive anguish in perfect sonic detail on a dynamic record that hits you with a physical, weighty and volatile performance. THÅRN can be as blunt and crushing as they can be patient and textured, creating an opus that ebbs and flows like the artwork's moonlit tide. The core duo were drawn together by their shared love of sludge, post-metal and hardcore, pairing their influences together into one sphere, which is so effortlessly reflected across the album.
Through little hype or promotion, THÅRN have captured the attention of both Surviving Sounds and Trepanation Recordings, who have become so enamored that they've decided to co-release Collisions on different physical formats together, which will be released on November 12th 2021. Recorded at No Studio in Manchester and mastered by Will Killingsworth (of US screamo legends Orchid), THÅRN's anticipated debut full length will be crash landing just in time to fuck up your album of the year list.
