1. Russian band
Blackthorn — symphonic black gothic metal band from Moscow, Russia, fully and beautifully female-completed. Filled with dark romanticism, music of Blackthorn represents a cocktail from black, symphonic and gothic metal, forming thus an interesting combination with haunting melodies, ethereal academic vocal and various types of growling and screaming.
Line-up:
Aina, Stray Away Cantatrice — soprano/scream
Elvira, Six String Alchemida — guitars, growl, music, keys/samples
Greta, Adust Anomic Suicide — bass
Varaska, Mortiferous Winter Blastphemy — drums
