Artist Origin: NOR
Style: raw primitive unholy black metal

with the fourth studio recording completely crazy Norwegian black metallers do not even think to take a pause, and guided by a spontaneous creative spark, dive headlong into the abyss of raucous sound: this is the most atrocious and primeval Darkthrone effort from kult and rebellious jet black metal era - raw, primitive and unholy full-length [1994], carving out the most direct, underground and ferocious sound possible, with entrancing riffs and ascetic rhythms repeating hypnotically while guitars emit cold sharpness and vocals pierce through a filthy haze of noise, together with the visual aesthetic sustaining an unnervingly powerful and still unmatched atmosphere, while lyrics on B side written by Varg Vikernes [Burzum] have caused an extra intrigue back in the day; recent British edition comes with a four page booklet replicating the original pressing
