The band EDGE OF THORNS exists since 1996. But in that time the band’s roots were settled in the gloomy areas of Heavy Metal. Duke (formerly guitar and voice) founded the band with Hani and as Lothar came to the band and brought the keyboard sounds the first songs had been written. By the appearance of Olli Brück (bass) Dave (lead guitars) and Achim (guitars) the band’s music changed due to the different musical influences of the musicians. Harmonic guitar playing got much more important and songs like “Riders Of The Storm “, “Beyond Horizons” and “Carpe Diem” were created.

As Olli decided to split and Achim concentrated his skills more and more on mixing and recording the bassist Olli Baumann came to the band and the final line-up was formed. But the band’s musical development is not finished yet and therefore today songs are created which can be categorized as Melodic Metal Rock.
