Archaic Thorn have been active in the German death metal underground since 2010 and have continuously developed from their 2013 demo, "Hydra Throats," and 2015 EP, In Desolate Magnificence, to their acclaimed 2020 debut album, Eradication, without losing their original impetuosity. On their second studio album, the Saxon trio continue this progression. The recordings were mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Fragments of Unbecoming, among others). Anyone who appreciates the old-school sound of bands like Degial, Necrovore, or Repugnant willlove Malicious Spears.
