A TORTURED SOUL

KISS OF THE THORN

Released by Eyes Like Snow

A division of Northern Silence Productions Cover Art Work Jumali Katani

 There is no escaping the apocalyptic artistry of the conceptual album ,KISS of the THORN by A TORTURED SOUL. If you can imagine walking through corridors of the mind with maddening and eclectic lyrics, the likes of Judas Priest and King Diamond. The falsettos of Rick Black, cascading through Hades and Dantes Inferno, with the melodies bringing you back up to heavenly plains. A Tortured Soul consists of ravenous vocals, bleeding guitar leads, heart beating rhythms, balls- out bass , and thunderous percussion. Be sure to buy Kiss of the Thorn, and embellish in the revelation of theatrical and superior orchestrated compositions.

"A Tortured Soul began its first Breath of Molten Steel With a Line-up of Rick Black, Nate Gorenc and Stefan Bohl. seeking out the best musicians in the area they found Ryne Schultz and soon built a reputation for hard partying and wild shows. You will agree it is something unlike all of the metal bands that you have ever heard before. A Tortured Soul is best described as technical metal sound with a thrash metal influence.Of course lead singer Rick Black's lyric's will always show traces of his black metal roots just as the band compositions will show their molten heavy metal core. Tandem searing guitar leads are the signature of Nate Gorenc, Ryne Schultz's lightning fast lead work, combined with, Eric Gnant's killer drumming that will pound the heck out of you every time you hear his crisp snare or fast double bass attack, and you will feel the massive tones of Stefan Bohl and his one of a kind deep dark and crushing bass guitar mastery . "
