January 3, 2006

Norwegian death metallers BLOODTHORN will release their fourth studio album, "Genocide", in January/February via Red Stream Inc. (Morningstar Records in Europe). The long-awaited follow-up to 2001's "Under the Reign of Terror" was recorded at Godt Selskap Studio (CHTON, GRIFFIN, KEEP OF KALESSIN) in Trondheim, Norway with producer Knut Fug Prytz (NECROPHAGIA). The CD, which has a running time of nearly 50 minutes, will mark the group's first release with guitarist Ihizahg (ex-PERISHED, WURDULAK, live guitarist for MAYHEM). "He's been working with us for several years now and wrote a good deal of the material on the new album, which will be the heaviest and most extreme BLOODTHORN album to this day," the band write in a statement. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Nightmare of Violence", "Sacrificial Slaughter", "Monolith of the Dead", "Hell on the Eastern Front", "Blood and Iron" and "They Will Arise".

As previously reported, BLOODTHORN have been confirmed for the 2006 edition of the Inferno Festival, set to take place April 13-15 at the Rockefeller Music Hall and John Dee venues in Oslo, Norway.
