The Midlands Rock review:
Considering the calibre of musicians involved in Blackthorne an air of mystery and intrigue surrounds the band. Releasing just one album (1993’s Afterlife) and a posthumous collection (Don’t Kill The Thrill) Blackthorne are criminally overlooked in the annuls of metal history. That anomaly will be rectified by this two disc set which compiles both albums along with bonus tracks and unreleased content to make the perfect career overview.
