Grimmthurs by Grimmthurs
This EP contains four earlier tracks, which have been slightly reworked, plus a brand new one. Drawing on death metal, thrash metal, and black metal, the five tracks are dark and primitive, yet melodic, groovy and energetic. We hope you enjoy this release.
Reviews:
" One might think that with so many stylistic influences, the music might lack focus, but that is far from the case with Grimmthurs. The band ... have fully engaged & absorbed these styles, which gives each of these songs a menacing, dramatic flavor. ... Extreme metal fans would be well advised to seek this one out."
(Peter Pardo, Sea of Tranquility)
"Grimmthurs's old school aesthetic is instantly likeable and the riffs used on this EP have a level of memorability that surpasses most of their contemporaries."
(J-Man, Metal Music Archives)
"The music on the EP is old school influenced death metal with slight nods toward thrash, black and traditional heavy metal. However this is most of all old school sounding death metal with brutal growling vocals and heavy riffing. The five tracks on the EP are all relatively short, but the band are pretty successful at cramming their many ideas into the short track format, without the tracks ever sounding too busy. In fact the tracks are generally well composed and consistent in quality. Personally I prefer the short and über heavy opening track "Morgengry" and the brutal closing track "Repent", but the three other tracks are great too."
(UMUR, Metal Music Archives)
" "I don't think any fan of death metal would regret hearing what Grimmthurs has to offer here."
(Jeff B, Sea of Tranquility)
"Rent musikalsk er det svært at putte Grimmthurs i en specifik genre, da bandet mikser forskellige genrer ind i musikken. Dødsmetallen er fundamendet, men også black metal og thrash metal stikker hovedet frem. der er til og med lidt doom metal blandet i gryden. Hvis jeg skal fremhæve et par af sangene må det være den herlige black metal-agtige "LSH" og "Pleasure Incarnate" ,der sender mig tilbage til halvfemsernes undergrunds dødsscene. ... Spændende band."
(Metalized)
"Grimmthurs er som udgangspunkt et døds-metal band, men de formår med stor elegance at inddrage både thrash og black metal elementer ind i musikken, hvilket fungerer super godt på pladen."
(Soelberg, Alarm666)
