THUS

With riffs that weigh a ton, sophisticated arrangements and an all-out DIY ethos, Thus have become an underground favourite in the metal sector since the band formed five years ago with songs like “Inhale The Ash” (2023) and “Incorporeal” (2024). The four Danes fuse technical death metal with progressive structures and monstrous melodic lines to create an insane concoction of handmade, brutal walls of sound that offer no escape. The impact of their debut EP “The Terminal Condition Of Existence” (2024), released last year, was still being felt weeks after its release across the Atlantic, where Thus have already amassed at least as many fans as in Europe. So it should surprise no-one that the trio triumphed at the Wacken Metal Battle 2024 and have since slowly but surely outgrown their insider tip status through word of mouth. But if you want to learn more about how they managed it, you’ll have to see them in action.
