Valparaiso, Indiana's Thorn Fetish has been grinding since 2012 at the intersection of industrial grit, groove-driven stomp, and thrash aggression. The combination makes for a mechanized, hard-hitting sound that draws equally from the caustic pulse of industrial metal and the neck-snapping rhythms of groove and thrash.
Thorn in Flesh from Rouen deliver death metal and hardcore with the piercing, irritating intensity their biblical name — referencing Paul's affliction — demands since 2015. A decade of painful compositions from the Norman capital has produced music as unremovable as their namesake thorn.
