Description

'A Primer of Holy Words' is a collection that showcases Thou’s deep-rooted passion for reinterpreting the music that shaped them. Spanning recordings from 2009 to 2022, the album compiles non-Nirvana covers originally scattered across rare splits, EPs, and benefit compilations. More than just a covers record, it reflects the band’s reverence for songs that imprinted their identity far beyond the confines of metal.

The selections are as diverse as they are personal, ranging from the weight of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam to the punk spirit of Born Against and the obscure New Orleans act Ginger Quail. Each track is filtered through Thou’s signature sludge-drenched heaviness and cathartic roar, transforming familiar songs into something entirely their own. With artwork by Rachel Speck of Tropical Goth, 'A Primer of Holy Words' is both a tribute and an assertion of influence, underscoring the wide emotional and sonic reach of Thou’s world.
