"If you yearn for classy, well-crafted melodic heavy metal songs with a penchant for memorability, excellent musicianship and world-class vocals, then Thorium cries out for your immediate investigation. Thorium are the real deal." (9/10) - True Metal Lives
"All together it makes Thorium’s debut a fantastic one, this is a highlight in the history of Belgian Heavy Metal!" (92/100) - Metal To Infinity
"I love an album with such vibrant energy. If you chance to pick apart the album as I am always inclined to do, each musician in and of themselves brandish absolute potent talent." - Boston Rock Radio
Given great incentive by their work together in Belgium’s legendary Heavy Metal band Ostrogoth, axemen Dario Frodo, Stripe and Tom Tee found themselves overwhelmed by massive amounts of inspiration for new material, much of which proved to lie too much outside the boundaries of what they could rightly realize with Ostrogoth. Therefore, they decided to found a brand new formation through which to channel all these new ideas. With the addition of classically trailed batterist Louis Van der Linden to the fold, the search was open for a powerful vocalist with a wide range and striking stage presence, which they found in seasoned Dutch singer David Marcelis (Lord Volture, Black Knight,...).
With the line-up complete, the band put the finishing touches on their self-titled debut album, which was released October 5th 2018. Touring and gigging in promotion for the new record commenced immediately, and saw the band playing dates across Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic, Holland and Belgium, where Thorium shared the stage with acts such as The Three Tremors, Q5, Witch Cross, and many more.
Influenced by and incorporating elements of all the classic styles of Metal from the past four decades, such as NWOBHM, Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Speed Metal, Bay Area Thrash and of course classic Heavy Metal, Thorium’s members set themselves no boundaries and seek to deliver music that is heavy, melodic, virtuosic, catchy and conceptual.

This album really kicks ass! I was (and still am) a big fan of Lost Horizon too and was very glad to hear Daniel Heiman's amazing voice. But I don't want to diminish the performance of the other musicians in this band. Fantastic songwriting and great atmosphere! I like it very much. hushbrush
With vocals that take you to the wailing heights and just as quickly slam you down into the depths, laden with riff-tastic rhythms, this is one unbelievably awesome power metal fest. Storytelling at its best. For lovers of metal, this is a must. I'm going to love losing more of my hearing on Warrior Path. Brian Genxer
A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck. Bandcamp New & Notable May 19, 2021
It's great to find bands that are from the city you live and it's even better when they're a pretty good band, much recommended, it has a 70's/80's kind of feel to it but with that modern polish. Charlie Hodgson
