Bloodthorn was founded in 1992. Their album
Under The Reign Of Terror (2001) saw the band abandoning the female vocals (by Christine Hjertaas) and keyboards (by Geir Mikael Reijners) that had been so prominent on the first two albums and going back to their roots of raw, extreme metal. In 2006, Bloodthorn released their fourth album,
Genocide. Following the release of
Genocide, Bloodthorn played at several festivals, including
Inferno and
Wacken Open Air 2006 as well as
Hole in the Sky 2007, and did a European and Scandinavian tour, with
Carpathian Forest and
Vader respectively. Bloodthorn disbanded in 2011 ==Discography==
