DARKTHRONE

Release Year: 2012
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: severe grim atmospheric black metal

undisputed heralds of true Norwegian black metal kill with this triumphant and genre-defining ninth album [2001], which as a matter of fact mostly follows in steps of its predecessor comeback, brimming with catchiness and thick atmosphere - a very compelling and challenging six track effort once again brings the harmonious elements within quite lengthy compositions, backing it up with a more traditional [heavy] metal attitude as well - perhaps for the first but certainly not the last time, while kind of sterile production with icy sound to it suits organic and unusually intricate song structures just perfectly, warning that these wild beasts are a serious danger for your life nonetheless; recent British black 180g vinyl edition comes with entirely new design and pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
