Thorns Of Grief are a solo project from Poland that plays funeral doom metal and this is a review of his 2019 album "Anthems To My Remains" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath and Dying Sun Records.
Distorted yet melodic riffing starts off the album while most of the tracks are very long and epic in length before going into a heavier funeral doom metal direction. Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with a few grim screams which also adds in a touch of black metal onto the recording.
Tragic sounding keyboards can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the music also adds in a decent amount of 90's era doom and death metal influences but also keeping it modern at the same time. One of the tracks is an instrumental before returning back to a heavier direction on the following songs.
When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard and as the album progresses clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as a brief use of whispered vocals and spoken word parts, all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and depressive themes.
In my opinion Thorns Of Grief are a very great sounding funeral doom metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Thorns Of Grief" and "Till Our Rebirth".8 out of 10.
