THAW
GRAINS

In the past years the world of extreme music witnessed a monumental turn in black metal philosophy. A new, experimental appro ach stormed the genre and while many purists shook their heads in disapproval, a new age was already starting. As with every revolution, there were leaders and followers. While not being there for the initial spark, you can hardly call THAW the latter. This Polish black/experimental p owerhous e was founded in 2010 by members of such acclaimed acts as Mentor, ARRM and Furia. Their music boldly fuses black metal with sludge, doom a nd sonic experiments, along with with noise, electronics and free - impro. The new album, "Grains" , is divided into fi ve pieces evolves in multiple directions. There is THAW's trademark take on black metal noise, there is drone, last but not least – there is the ability to conduct a unique narrative with music.
