Our Take

Darkthrone's latest offering, "Eternal Hails," is a whirlwind of black metal mastery that simultaneously pays homage to the genre's roots while pushing forward into uncharted territories. It's like a gothic fairy tale set to a soundtrack of thrashing guitars and guttural screams.

From the moment the first track, "His Master's Voice," kicks in, you can feel the raw energy and passion that Darkthrone have poured into this album. It's like being swept up in a tornado of sound, with no chance of escape. The riffs are razor-sharp, the drums thunderous, and the vocals menacing. It's like being chased through a haunted forest by a pack of wolves.

But don't let the darkness of the music fool you, there's a quirky sense of humour running through the album. Songs like "Wake of the Awakened" and "Lost Arcane City of Uppakra" have a playful sense of mischief to them, like a mischievous imp leading you down a dark alleyway.

Overall, "Eternal Hails" is a triumphant return to form for Darkthrone. It's a reminder of why they are one of the most revered bands in the black metal scene. If you're a fan of the genre, you owe it to yourself to give this album a spin. Just make sure to lock your doors and draw the curtains first – you never know what darkness might be lurking outside.

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.
