Thorun – Chorus Of Giants (2011)

November 7, 2020

I’ve witnessed Cardiff’s Thorun in the live environment but have not until had the pleasure of hearing studio material. Expect seismic, glacial doom in the instrumental veins of Bongripper, but coupled with the power-tinged riffs of bands more grounded in the riff rather than out there in the ether; think more trad-doom enthusiasts such as Pentagram, or even Sabbath.

Chorus Of Giants reminds me in parts of the band Slabdragger, and I don’t feel that lyrics would go amiss on some of these tracks. Either way, this is spot on, and I’m a bit annoyed at myself that it took me so long to check this out.
