Biography

Formed by Blackthorn (Snorre W. Ruch), Marius Vold and Faust (Bård G. Eithun) in 1989 under the moniker "Stigma Diabolicum". After the first demo was done, Stigma Diabolicum began dissolving, and after "Trøndertun" Snorre W. Ruch continued Thorns as a solo project, with help from several prominent personas in the black metal scene. The "release" of the now legendary demos/rehearsal tapes "Grymyrk" and "Trøndertun" in the early 1990's, had a great impact on the black metal scene, and Thorns is, by many, considered as one of the forefathers of modern black metal. Ruch's guitar work in particular was innovative. Taking thrash metal's tremolo picking style and using it on minor, classical style chords, Ruch practically originated the modern black metal riff, according to some of his peers. Such influence is obvious on bands such as Darkthrone, Immortal, Satyricon, and Emperor. 1989 (MCMLXXXIX) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
