Thoraxembalmer was my black/death metal project that I started in 1995. Lyrically influenced by ancient Sumerian, Mesopotamian and Babylonian texts such as the Descent of Ishtar; also taking influence from Dante's Inferno, Aliester Crowley, Enochian rituals and even Shakespeare. Musically inspired by Bathory, early Emperor, Slayer, Mayhem, Burzum and many other black and death metal bands. All of it is here, warts and all; from the first demo to the last. There are some sound quality issues but it was meant to be raw and genuine and was simply a bit of fun for me but the material is sound, if the sound quality and execution is a bit lacking here and there.

"The use of disconcerting noise to unsettle the enemy is hardwired into most higher animals, from the warnings and battle roars of confrontational beasts to the trumpets, drums, bugles, bagpipes, devilish war cries, taunts and piercing shrieks used by humans in their conflicts."

This Empty Vessel - Dagon
2nd This Empty Vessel release. Well, I say release, but this one never made it off my hard-drive; until now anyway. Still vaguely within the funeral doom genre, but as genres go, funeral doom is pretty vague so that tag suits it well. More guitar based than the last but entirely instrumental this time. Hope anyone that hears it enjoys it.
This Empty Vessel - The Crawling Chaos
Lovecraftian inspired funeral doom. Yeah I know, what a cliche but I like Lovecraft and I sometimes like funeral doom so whatever. Minimal funeral doom like the rats in the walls; something lurks in the basement and it's hungry for souls!
