Thomas Thorn is the founding member and frontman of The Electric Hellfire Club (EHC), an industrial\/metal\/rock band that emerged in the early 1990s.

Thorn founded the band The Electric Hellfire Club in 1991 with Shane Lassen (Rev. Dr. Luv) and guitarist Ronny Valeo of Screamer.

Thomas has been associated with Anton LaVey\u2019s Church of Satan and leaned heavily into Satanic aesthetics in the band\u2019s music and imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
