Bio
Instrumental stoner-doom rock from South Wales! >>>> Thorun was born (prematurely) in early 2010 as two well travelled, axe wielding Caerphilly idiots decided to "start a new band" after the fall of Cardiff based noise makers Circa Regna Tonat left Jonathan Evans (Guitar) without a creative home. With phase one complete Keeran Williams (Guitar) and Jonny set out to find a rhythm section. After some over zealous forum posting and a bit of begging they found Mike Johnson (Drums) and Neal 'Chest' Palmer (Bass) and thus the two piece became a four. The band agreed on one thing...."it has to be slow, loud and a bit like Electric Wizard but without the vocals cause we don't have a singer!" Things moved quickly as ideas turned in to riffs, riffs in to songs and songs in to more songs until the band had enough material to record a 5 track EP/Demo that they decided to give away over the magical intermaweb as a free download. Thorun are now playing live shows at a crap hole near you! Some things that nice people said about our music: "Good noises, a nice touch of Iron Monkey in there me thinks" Dead Maids >>>> "All hail Thorun, Enter the smoke filled chamber!" Druid Lord >>>> "What the fuck was that" Some guy at Buffalo Bar Cardiff -

Hooray for Cardiff Metal!!
Thanks from france!! Really great stuff !
Thought the Cardiff show was excellent and it's great to see a band concentrate on music rather than have the current standard shouting frontman.
Cheers man. we need to be out there playing more shows now :)
Great stuff, guys. You remind me of Iron Monkey (very good thing)
Hail Thorun. Enter the smoke filled chamber!!!
Thanks for the request! I must say, your music is very damn good!
A nice touch of Iron Monkey in there methinks :)
