Thousand Year Rain Bio

This is exactly what I want music to be: uninhibited and unpredictable. There are no promoters to negotiate with, no managers to sell out for, and no stopwatches to hinge inspiration on. By its very nature, this is an art form that deserves to be free of the corporate elitists and assembly line formulas that have plagued it since time immemorial. —Thomas Sankt Thousand Year Rain is an earthshaking goth powerhouse—replete with sledgehammer riffs, mournful acoustic passages, and cryptic symbology. Drawing on the influence of artists ranging from Motörhead and King Diamond to Dirk Serries and Kvitrafn, Sankt writes and records in a private studio near Concord. And the end result is a grim, down-tuned wall of instrumental combustion.
