I always read Fenriz updates in the style of Propellerhead instructional videos or Amsterdam hostel workers. Yes, I know he's not Dutch.

Might look into recording a soft pop album at necrohell 2

whenever they want, I think necrohell 2 is just Fenriz's home studio

have to say, all of that sounds good to me, and the cover is definitely of the more old school Darkthrone variety than pretty much anything they've released this century
Also remembering the first time Fenriz referenced the new album was on his radio show, when he was playing Head of the Demon, saying Dthrone's stuff was going to be similarly "introverted". And that would be awesome!

also, here is what Amazon UK says is the tracklisting:
1. Tundra Leach - 05:022. Burial Bliss - 04:593. Boreal Fiends - 05:504. Inbred Vermin - 05:495. Arctic Thunder - 04:416. Throw Me Through the Marshes - 05:007. Deep Lake Tresspass - 04:488. The Wyoming Distance - 03:14

A Blaze In the Northern Sky
Has some weird kinship with the first At The Gates album, despite the different subgenre. Listen to them back to back and see what I mean--they capture a very similar surreal twisted beauty.
― punksishippies, Friday, 4 November 2016 21:46 (seven years ago) link
Listening to Arctic Thunder for the first time and enjoying it. It's their 17th album. Is their later stuff all good? I feel I've stuck to the 3 or 4 classics and maybe lost out...

even the ones that didn't seem good to me at some point seem good to me now tbh

Darkthrone are a band that, if you love metal of all stripes, will always deliver. They ape their influences proudly and usually execute well. The only duds in their discography might be the early aughts albums, but if you bookend the middle period with Panzerfaust on one end and F.O.A.D. on the other you're good. I don't mean to disparage the albums from that era but the production is not on par with their best. Arctic Thunder is great, tho.
― Yelploaf, Saturday, 7 January 2017 23:55 (seven years ago) link
Thanks. So to clarify - Panzerfaust thru to FOAD are to be avoided?
― Duke, Sunday, 8 January 2017 00:01 (seven years ago) link
Or Total Death thru to The Cult Is Alive?
― Duke, Sunday, 8 January 2017 00:03 (seven years ago) link
Panzerfaust in the last great album of theirs from the 'classic' era imo. I didn't dig anything after that until FOAD. But again, such a great, dedicated band that I can't really say avoid anything.
― Yelploaf, Sunday, 8 January 2017 00:10 (seven years ago) link
I listened to Plaguewielder recently and it was better than I remember.
Also, check out Goatloard. Maybe online before you buy it, but to certain weirdos (like me) it's a great, strange record.

that's the thing. last time I listened to FOAD it was way better than it seemed when it was new. they're a smart and good band, and even their ebbs are worth some listens.

Hate Them underrated imo
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 30 June 2017 11:04 (six years ago) link
Hate Them & Sardonic Wrath are the albums I listen to most!

Darkthrone!! *puts on Darkthrone*

the commentary fenriz does for peaceville's reissue of transilvanian hunger is pretty awesome and hilarious. he talks at one point about how important track order is to him and says "that's an important job of being a musician as well! although i don't call myself a musician, that's disgusting." then he takes a beer break

love that man
i watched his "Black Metal 101" lecture last night and spent the night listening to Bathory, Tormentor and Darkthrone.

I finally completed my Darkthrone albums collection and have come to the conclusion that it's all pretty good.

As long as it's better than their last six or seven albums, which are a complete blur to me, I look forward to it as well.
― pomenitul, Friday, 22 March 2019 10:42 (five years ago) link
I donโt think that at this point we can expect much more from Darkthrone than fun filled 80โs pastiche.
― Siegbran, Friday, 22 March 2019 18:12 (five years ago) link
Darkthrone are firmly in Ramones territory for me now tbh. I know they'll never be as good as they were but I'm also not likely to be mad at anything they put out.

total death is total-ly underrated
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 30 July 2019 04:09 (four years ago) link
agree... love the bass sound and general production and strong material
I think Panzerfaust/TD/Ravishing are a great trilogy, actually.

There's a riff in Where Cold Winds Blow that sounds like two guitars imitating a chainsaw gone bezerk and i keep replaying that part. A Blaze In The Northern Sky has a LOT to offer

just digging deeper into these dudes... was not aware that they switched over to a more uhhhh punky bikers from hell kinda sound for a bit there. (FOAD and Circle the Wagons). Itโs really cool!!!
― brimstead, Thursday, 10 June 2021 19:55 (two years ago) link
still haven't heard those! i skipped them and went to the later ones.
need to loop back

it sounds like shit and the riffs are just so goddamn great and they drape over the drums like rotted robes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 06:11 (two years ago) link
it's pretty fucking good... hoping Old Star and Eternal Hails are the first two of yet another trilogy
― Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 26 June 2021 12:00 (two years ago) link
I thought Old Star was alright, mostly thanks to the proverbially epic 'Hardship of the Scots', but Eternal Hails is yet another post-Panzerfaust release that leaves me cold, and not in the trve kvlt sense. That said, I'm that rare beast: a black metal enthusiast who merely likes rather than worships Darkthrone.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 26 June 2021 12:18 (two years ago) link
I enjoy this, but at the same time it kinda feels like they're going through the motions?
― braised cod, Saturday, 26 June 2021 12:22 (two years ago) link
idk if that's true of the last two tracks
