Biography

Long bio~92 words

Jyväskylä-based Finnish metalcore collective In Thorns released new single "wormhusk" on May 29, 2026, following "exit wounds" (January 2026) and their acclaimed debut album "the last bead on a cord of songs" (2024), which placed #8 in Kaaoszine's newcomer of the year readers' poll.

The collective creates metalcore driven by crushing soundscapes, nihilistic and darkly poetic lyrics, and soaring melodies.
