THORN’s latest single “We Are Happy (Of The Pale Criminal)” is a rebellious, dark, brooding and electrifying punk rock anthem that embraces sexual freedom and self-reflection. The song’s gritty and dark soundscapes draw inspiration from the industrial underbelly of Slovakia and THORN’s own travels around Europe. With an energy and message that encourage listeners to embrace their own sexuality and overcome the oppressive societal norms that dictate one’s sexual experiences, this is an ode to being liberated in the most heavy, dreary, and unfiltered expression possible.
This furious and unapologetic expression of punk rock is what the genre and sound represents in its purest, most untainted way. It’s an explosion of feelings, emotions, and what’s trapped within, simply letting it all lay open for one to see.
