Thorns is the long awaited debut album by Norwegian black metal band Thorns. It comes almost ten years after the acclaimed Trøndertun demo tape, and two years after the Thorns vs. Emperor split album.
The album features guest appearances from Satyr (of Satyricon), Aldrahn (of Dødheimsgard) and Hellhammer (of Mayhem).
Stylistically, Thorns is quite different from both Trøndertun and the first Thorns demo, Grymyrk. While it retains the eerie riff structures of those early releases, it displays a strong electronic/industrial influence, particularly on tracks like "Shifting Channels" and "Underneath the Universe, Part 1".
