Looking forward to it

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.

I don’t think that at this point we can expect much more from Darkthrone than fun filled 80’s 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

agree... love the bass sound and general production and strong material
I think Panzerfaust/TD/Ravishing are a great trilogy, actually.

goooood, I forgot how great Blaze is....

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). It’s really cool!!!

still haven't heard those! i skipped them and went to the later ones.
need to loop back

new record is sick

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.

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
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 13:45 (two years ago) link
lol yeah I wrote that before I got that far.

It really does sound like shit but the tunes are undeniable
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Saturday, 26 June 2021 15:55 (two years ago) link
if it doesn't sound like crap it isn't a Darkthrone record.

do you have to be cool with nazism to be a true metalhead
― Left, Saturday, 26 June 2021 16:23 (two years ago) link
obviously the answer to your good faith question is yes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 16:36 (two years ago) link
hard to think of many other genres where this shit is just normal

it’s something i grapple with way more as a mayhem fan than as a darkthrone fan but go off
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 16:39 (two years ago) link
i do lament the normalization of buying records by nazis in metal communities
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 16:40 (two years ago) link
wtf? Darkthrone has literally made a statement that they are are not Nazis, so why wouldn't you go after actually dodgy bands? But I guess that would undermine your argument, since most metalheads avoid those.
― braised cod, Saturday, 26 June 2021 17:35 (two years ago) link
fuck off

ahh this is a productive discussion
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Saturday, 26 June 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link
they collaborated with varg & have an album called panzerfaust but hey at least they said they're not nazis
this kind of denial & defensiveness is absolutely typical though

what exactly is your 'endgame' here. did you read Wikipedia, get mad, and enter this thread?

"hey guys, here are two facts nobody has disputed that are both 20+ years old, here I am to blow your minds with it and suggest you are all Nazis!!!!"

opened thread, saw album title, did 2 minutes of google research, got pissed off at metal culture yet again

i knew this would happen because i know metalheads don't like being called out on this shit

you stumble into the thread after learning about it five minutes and we're the assholes? fuck you.

Left, have you ever doubted the soundness of your position on… just about anything, really?
― pomenitul, Saturday, 26 June 2021 17:54 (two years ago) link
yes, this is pretty clear cut though, do you know how this looks to people with no connection to metal culture
― Left, Saturday, 26 June 2021 17:56 (two years ago) link
Is it now. If I were you, I'd start by reading the countless threads we've collectively devoted to this topic and its various avatars over the years.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 26 June 2021 17:57 (two years ago) link
Left, I honestly don't care if you get FPed anymore. you're a smart dude, but you're also a cunt, and you presume the worst about everybody and willfully ignore the 15+ years of discussion that have happened on this board ON THE EXACT TOPIC YOU'RE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW. which, if you'd actually use the search function, would turn up that the discussion has a much wider range of opinion on the topic than you'd be willing to admit. yeah, there are definitely posters here that will literally jedi-handwave the sins of the metal scene away and go "#notallmetalbands", but I don't think Big HOOS, aerosmith, or others in this thread fit that category.

i don't think it's necessary to call left a c***
i was on the verge of calling his rhetorical tactics cop-ish tho
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 June 2021 18:02 (two years ago) link
i am aware of the discussions - so what? this thread has been free of them until now
i have only directly insulted the band and metal in general and i haven't called any posters nazis yet
i could and maybe should go after slayer and motorhead too but i hold my tongue, this is egregious though and i decided complaining on another thread wasn't enough

i don't listen to burzum bc that guy is a nazi and i read a lot of persuasive arguments on here back in the day that even listening to nazi shit without giving them your money is some kind of tacit support, i took it to heart, that's still what i live by (even though i think also on some level i respond to regressive shit (just regressive shit that isn't advocating for racist and sexist garbage or whose avatar isn't advocate of racist and sexist garbage, more regressive like a shot-on-video horror is regressive. and i definitely draw my own lines when it comes to this stuff.... as we all do? even with darkthrone, whose most famous record has some nazi shit in the liner notes but who have presented themselves as aggressively not-nazis ever since as far as i have been able to tell)
