Thaw Releases New Single "The Brigand"
Polish avante garde/experimental black metal act Thaw issued a video clip for the new single "The Brigand." The song appears on the upcoming new release "Grains," which drops on December 8th via Agonia Records.
Recorded during sessions scattered over various periods of time, "Grains" is not just another step forward for the already acclaimed band. The album divided into five pieces evolves in multiple directions. There is Thaw's trademark take on black metal noise, there is drone, last but not least – there is the ability to conduct a unique narrative with music. Intensity combined with abandoning traditional structures make the new effort of one of the most forward-thinking bands an experience one of a kind. A distorted landscape where creation meets destruction perfectly painted.
"Grains" has been once again recorded and produced by THAW at Maq Records Studio and Satanic Audio. A cover painting made by Furia's Sars as well as appearances of Maciej Morus (Mitch & Mitch, ex-Starzy Singers) and Stawrogin (Odraza) only add to the album's mystery and weird magnetism.
The track listing is:
1. The Brigand
2. The Thief
3. The Cabalist
4. The Harness
5. Wielki Piec

Thaw Signs With Agonia Records, Announce New Album
Three years after building a sonic monument with "Earth Ground", Poland's experimental black metal band Thaw returns with the brand new full-length album "Grains," which is scheduled for a December 8th release via Agonia Records.
In the past years, the world of extreme music witnessed a monumental turn in black metal philosophy. A new, experimental approach stormed the genre and while many purists shook their heads in disapproval, a new age was already starting. As with every revolution, there were leaders and followers. While not being there for the initial spark, you can hardly call Thaw the latter. This Polish black/experimental powerhouse was founded in 2010 by members of such acclaimed acts as Mentor, ARRM and Furia. Their music boldly fuses black metal with sludge, doom and sonic experiments, along with with noise, electronics and free-impro.

Thaw Releasing "St. Phenome Alley" On Vinyl
May 15th, 2017 sees the release of "St. Phenome Alley" by Poland's black noise wizards Thaw on LP format. Pagan Records comments:
"Polish extreme music is reaching the peak of its creative capacities in 2017. Thaw can be considered as originators of the current peripheral resurgency of the Polish black metal movement.
"Having always valued courage and openness way more than genre purity, the band have released two successful full-length works as well as a couple of different, more experimental formats. St. Phenome Alley is one of them. Consisting of two entirely improvised, brooding and bleak sonic arrangements, it shows the band's abilities which exceed any limitations and permeate even the strictest musical rule.
"Released only on tape and digital so far, 'St. Phenome Alle'y will finally see its vinyl release on 15th May. The pre-order starts now right here." More...
