Thorns – Vortex

Thorns - Thorns

Now, as a metal vocalist, there’s very few things indeed that you can say to make you more supremely badass than:

“My eye is the vortex from which nothing escapes
I am dematerialization of the self
I am the axis in the wheel of reincarnation
The endless singularity

I turn the spirals of existence
I am the slowing pace of life
I am the pulse of creation,
of inevitability and destruction

I balance the shifting tides of life
Everything must return to me

I am the beginning
and I am the end”

Jokes aside, the lyrics are impactful and they are vibrated into existence in a solemn way. Despite the heavy riffing involved, I consider this to be an atmospheric song, a powerful invocation coming from an occult Universe.

This comes from Thorns’ only full length release, a highly appreciated album bearing the (one man) band’s name. It’s a master-class in industrial black metal which I highly recommend.
