The Blackthorns

This domestic apocalypse is crude.

About Me

CD available online at http://cdbaby.com/cd/blackthorns
Blackthorns...for centuries it has been a name linked equally to terror and beauty, fear and love, darkness and the light. Humanity, that cowering mass of blood and bile, has leaned forward and put a hand to its ear, having taken notice of a faint melody arriving on the Westerly wind, calling us home. Not so much a reasurring beckoning. More of a silver-tongued Rapture.

Lean back. Steady yourself. The sound grows louder.

Call us Blackthorns, for we are many.
