0 Glacially Musical – Vow of Thorns – Farewell To The Sun

  • June 28, 2016

  • · Vow of Thorns

This record is as diverse as its songs are expansive. There’s a strong thematic feeling to the music, but it always comes across as fresh and eager. The beauty of the riffing is juxtaposed with the anger of the singing…Vow of Thorns succeeds in doing what many bands have never attempted in doing, creating very heavy and very beautiful music simultaneously. Walk the path before you, the effort is well worth it.

VOW OF THORNS Offer Free Download of ‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’

Canadian Tour Dates w/ Ashbringer

New Album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ Out July 15th

     Set to hit the road for a five-day tour (dates below) of Ontario and Quebec with Minnesota’s atmospheric black metallers Ashbringer plus unleash their upcoming album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ on July 15th, Canadian black metal doom fusionists VOW OF THORNS are offering fans a FREE DOWNLOAD of their track ‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’ via their bandcamp at the following link: https://vowofthorns.bandcamp.com/track/meeting-on-the-astral-plane-2

Their album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ is also available for pre-order and comes with two immediate download of their tracks ‘‘Farewell To The Sun Part II‘ and‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’: https://vowofthorns.bandcamp.com/album/farewell-to-the-sun 

VOW OF THORNS have been conceptualizing albums and pushing the boundary between aggressive and emotional. What once served as an anagram for Kevin Hawthorne’s solo work is now a joint effort with Dustin Richards, where the duo has quickly become one of the most intimidating musical ventures to date. The duo have been constructing songs unanimously and without interruption in a seamless writing process to craft work fueled by their musical and environmental influences. Constantly shifting between disparaging black metal vocals and triumphant guitar hooks dripping with doom-encrusted bass riffs and theatrical drums. The band pairs the forces of black metal and doom, blending the two styles with ease while maintaining a certain sense of tension and uncertainty in the air.

New Album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ Out July 15th

     Set to hit the road for a five-day tour (dates below) of Ontario and Quebec with Minnesota’s atmospheric black metallers Ashbringer plus unleash their upcoming album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ on July 15th, Canadian black metal doom fusionists VOW OF THORNS have teamed up with InvisibleOranges.comfor the premiere of their track ‘Farewell To The Sun Part II‘, which can be heard at the following link: http://www.invisibleoranges.com/vow-of-thorns-farewell-sun-2/ 

“‘Farewell To The Sun Pt. II, the second of the three-part title track. It observes the futility of a physical existence under the belief that transcendence hides beyond. Cares are forgotten and worries are shed when there is only one path in sight. Mortality is just a burden, but a heavy one.” comments vocalist / guitarist K. Hawthorne.

0 Worship Metal – Vow of Thorns – Farewell To The Sun

  • June 13, 2016

  • · Vow of Thorns

Farewell To The Sun is some of the most introspective black metal and most upbeat, yet somehow gloomy, blackened doom metal we’ve ever encountered. It captures your attention, alters your mood, plays tricks with your ideas of genre stereotyping and remorselessly plunges you into the dense no mans land occupied by this great band.

     Canadian black metal doom fusionists VOW OF THORNS announce they will be hitting the road for a five-day tour of Ontario and Quebec with Minnesota’s atmospheric black metallers Ashbringer. The tour will kick off on July 12th in Montreal and wrap up on July 16th in London to support VOW OF THORNS‘ upcoming album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ due out July 15th to follow the 2013 debut EP ‘Forest Dweller’.

Their first single and the album’s opening track ‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’ is now streaming at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8kBC0qeuJ0

Guitarist D. Richards comments on the track:

“‘Meeting on the Astral Plane’ tells the story of one man’s escape from physical reality to a place of infinite possibilities; an existence free of mortal boundaries. The escape, however, is only temporary and he must return to his lowly existence and face himself, which he does in the following track ‘Great Abomination’. His experience on the astral plane leads him to believe that death may be the ultimate escape. As our protagonist’s experience progresses so does the music. From the triumphant march of the opening riff to the crushing doom encased ending.”

VOW OF THORNS have been conceptualizing albums and pushing the boundary between aggressive and emotional. What once served as an anagram for Kevin Hawthorne’s solo work is now a joint effort with Dustin Richards, where the duo has quickly become one of the most intimidating musical ventures to date. The duo have been constructing songs unanimously and without interruption in a seamless writing process to craft work fueled by their musical and environmental influences.
