Jyväskylä-based metal collective In Thorns creates music driven by crushing soundscapes, nihilistic and darkly poetic lyrics, and soaring melodies. Their acclaimed 2024 debut "the last bead on a cord of songs" placed top 10 in Kaaoszine's newcomer of the year readers' poll; the new single cycle — "exit wounds" and "wormhusk" — pushes heavier and leaner. Drawing from surrealist art and horror, the live show pulls audiences into their dark, surreal world.
