When I listen to most death metal these days it's rarely ever as unyielding or as powerful as Embrace of Thorns. A thick, heavy and penetrating guitar tone that wipes the slate clean. There shouldn't be any underestimations here, this is a superb and fire-fuelling death metal record and one with all the trimmings. Daniel Brown

This record recalls that quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". There's nothing left to take away here - the composition and execution is thoughtful and sure-handed, the result focused and powerful. This is black metal long removed from icy Norwegian forests; instead, it trawls shadowy inner currents, where spirits dwell. Abandon hope, but discover oneself, all ye who enter. fyeahmetal
