Some drops and essentials of Symphonic, Black and Gothic metal, an ethereal soprano, violent extreme vocals, thunderous rhythm section, sinister guitar riffs, mystic sounds of a violin and occult words - here are the ingredients of a magic potion of BLACKTHORN, able to enchant almost everyone.

The metal witches first entered the studio in 2006 to record three songs for the demo "The Prologue of Eschaton" . A few years later, they recorded their debut album Gossamer Witchcraft, which was released in 2009 through Ravenheart Records. It's Russian version, entitled "Araneum", was released the same year through Musica Production.

Thanks to the soul-stirring music, preternatural magnetic energy and uncommon line-up, the band was quickly on the top symphonic metal circuit in their homeland.

In December 2011, BLACKTHORN released the second album "Codex Archaos" via Russian label MSR Productions. The new creation of the band's filled with dark atmosphere of alchemical chambers and has more aggressive and creepy sound than before.

After successful release of "Codex Archaos", BLACKTHORN hit studios again to record their first single entitled "Era Obscura" which features two versions of one track in English and Russian languages. The single was released onto the internet on June 17, 2012.

A year later, the band covered "Sister September" (a song from French Symphonic Black metallers ANOREXIA NERVOSA's album "Redemption Process") for their latest Internet single with the same name.

In the meanwhile BLACKTHORN has conducted many rituals in Russia and abroad in such neighbouring countries as Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia and in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary as a part of Metal Spirit Resurrection tours. Highlights include playing on the main stage at Metal Crowd Festival together with Catamenia, Battlelore, Graveworm and Trail of Tears, performances at Metal Heads Mission Festival and Iron Maiden Festival 2008 & 2011, support shows for Vesania, Christ Agony, HATE and Frantic Amber.

In July 2013, BLACKTHORN proudly presented their debut music video for "Hexshadow Turned to Flesh", the track off the second album "Codex Archaos".

Shortly after that, the witches have announced that they are working on a new album.

It was announced at the end of 2014 that the band's third full length opus entitled "WITCH CULT TERNION" is influnced by one of the earliest world cults - the cult of the moon which was associated with obscure and mysterious side of woman's essence. The storyline deals with ancient triple female deities but interpret them in its own way, enfleshing the vision as three evil witch-sisters, reigning over the world with their dark powers.

"WITCH CULT TERNION" will be released December 20th via MSR Productions as a digipack and will contain 9 songs, 3 bonus tracks and 2 versions of the band's latest music video "The Spectral Evildence". Shortly before the longest night of the year!
