Our Take
Our Take
Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" is a frosty blast of black metal brilliance that will leave you feeling like you've been transported to the frozen wilderness of Norway. From the opening track, "Kathaarian Life Code," to the epic closer, "Where Cold Winds Blow," this album is a relentless assault on the senses that will have you headbanging in no time.
Fenriz and Nocturno Culto's raw and primal vocals complement the icy guitar riffs and thunderous drums perfectly, creating a swirling maelstrom of sound that is both powerful and hypnotic. The production may be lo-fi, but that only adds to the album's overall atmosphere of icy despair and grim darkness.
While some may find the constant barrage of blast beats and tremolo-picked guitar lines overwhelming, for fans of old-school black metal, "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" is a masterpiece that stands the test of time. Each track is a relentless onslaught of aggression and despair, creating a sonic landscape that is equal parts terrifying and exhilarating.
So grab your corpsepaint and prepare to worship at the altar of Darkthrone, because "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" is a black metal classic that demands to be heard. Sit back, relax, and let the darkness consume you.

About the artist
Darkthrone
Darkthrone - the Norwegian black metal duo hailing from Kolbotn, consisting of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto - are the epitome of raw, unapologetic, and unbridled black metal energy. With a career spanning over three decades, Darkthrone have solidified themselves as pioneers of the genre, effortlessly blending elements of thrash, punk, and traditional heavy metal into their dark and atmospheric sound. Known for their non-conformity and constantly evolving musical style, Darkthrone have catapulted themselves into iconic status within the metal community. From their early days of creating blistering black metal anthems on albums like "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" and "Transilvanian Hunger" to their more recent explorations into punk and crust on releases like "The Underground Resistance" and "Old Star," Darkthrone continue to push boundaries and surprise audiences with their sonic experimentation. But don't let their serious and ominous aesthetic fool you - Fenriz and Nocturno Culto are also notorious for their wry sense of humour and irreverent attitude towards the traditional trappings of the metal scene. Whether they're poking fun at themselves in interviews or releasing tongue-in-cheek albums with titles like "F.O.A.D." (an acronym for "Fuck Off and Die"), Darkthrone remind us that metal can still be fun and rebellious, even in its darkest and most extreme forms. With a discography that spans genres and defies categorization, Darkthrone have cemented their place as one of the most important and influential bands in the metal world. So, the next time you find yourself craving some blackened riffs and unrelenting aggression, look no further than Darkthrone - the uncompromising kings of Norwegian black metal.
