Synopsis

Album Description
Under the Reign of Terror is the sound of centuries of warfare and plague. It is the definite calling that death will arrive, in a painful way to the listener. The whole album represents to the audience in a unique way a horrific age of darkness. Experience for yourself this killing force of Black/Death Metal violence from Trondeim, Norge. Brutal and sinister riffing sets the pace for the double bass blasting intensity chaos! Toppled by a necromantic bass sub frequency and blitzkrieg panzer vocal invasion, this is a Black/Death Metal head's secrete war vision come true. There are no merciful quiet passages, or peaceful melodic intros on Under The Reign of Terror. There is only war, enslavement, butchery, savagery. .. The spirit of this album captures a brand of brutality with all the power of a nuclear assault. This album must be heard to be understood. It will bring your own death! Under the Reign of Terror includes a 16 page booklet with story, lyrics and photos. The entire album was recorded in France and plagued by malfunctions which only fueled the bloodthirsty members to carry on. Rats, and unknown remains and particles found living in the studio during Under The Reign of Terror could not stop Bloodthorn from recording the most brutal fucking album of their career for their new label Red Stream. Integrated as guest musician is Necrobutcher from Mayhem on a bestial cover of Deathcrush.

Great Effort & Great Change of Sound
Azrael | Lake Forest, CA USA | 09/24/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"In this effort by Bloodthorn, they updated their previous sound to conform with a more traditional death metal style, and yet managed to keep the war metal feel and lyrics alive. They stripped down their sound a bit, leaving behind the synth and female vox present in some of their earlier works which leads to a more brutal sound. When I first heard this new release I was astounded with how heavy the album was and how well it was produced. Previously, my favorite disc by them was 'Onward Into Battle', but that release still had much to be desired regarding production quality. 'Under The Reign of Terror', however, is a great piece of work with growling vocals, thundering drums, and a very dreary, apocalyptic atmosphere. Perhaps the greatest thing about this album is that many songs have very fast sections whereas in Bloodthorn's earlier works the typical song pace was much slower and plodding. This album is a triumph of war/viking metal and should be celebrated as such. Long live Bloodthorn!!"
