XIIThorns

Geleen, Nederland

XII Thorns is a blackened deathcore band with lyrics based on gruesome horror movies. Delivering heavy, gut punching breakdowns with guttural growls and blastbeats that tear your skin off. We pride ourselves in pushing the boundaries of amelodic sonic expression while still retaining all the unique elements deathcore listeners crave. The three songs on our first EP ‘Wreath’ are self-recorded, self- produced and self-mastered. Bridging the gap between traditional deathmetal and new deathcore by using open chords and a slight adjustment in tuning of the top guitar-string, which released a whole new pallet of tastes to work with. A live act with artistic theatrical elements provides the spectator more directions to enjoy the performance. Paired with ungodly vocals which cause an unnerving feeling, guitars as low as a daemon’s voice and blasting drums as fast as the exorcism of Emily Rose.
