Thaw are one of the leading forces in contemporary Polish black metal. Infused with noise, experimentation, and immense attention to detail and sound.

After the split with Echoes Of Yul, Thaw once again veers into the ambient / improvisation / drone territory with "St. Phenome Alley", despite being widely regarded as a black metal band (although noisy and experimental). It's a sort of getaway, yet it never feels forced, and evokes just the right amount of disarming discomfort while still being perfectly accessible and interesting.

The album consists of two lengthy, completely improvised tracks, both recorded even before the amazingly well-received sophomore album, "Earth Ground". For fans of Wrekmeister Harmonies, Grails and Sunn O))).
