CLASSIC DARKTHRONE ALBUM ON LIMITED EDITION HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL

Shipping now!

Darkthrone return this autumn with their 14th album, a perfect fusion of blackened rock, metal and punk. ‘Dark Thrones & Black Flags’ is a continuation of the Darkthrone sound, style and uncompromising attitude witnessed on the acclaimed 2007 album ‘F.O.A.D’.


Recorded and produced by the band themselves at Necrohell II studios, Norway, ‘Dark Thrones & Black Flags’ is an exercise in pushing the conventions of the narrow perception of what should make black metal, becoming more timeless and faithful to its spirit than most could ever wish for in the process.

Available in three formats: a regular edition in super jewel case, a vinyl edition, and a special edition, in a Slipcased super jewel case package with exclusive new video footage featuring Darkthrone in the studio - ‘Fucking Around’ Version 1 & ‘Fucking Around’ Version 2.

3CD SET INCLUDING PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL

For the past 21 years Darkthrone have been leaders of the black metal scene. To coincide with this anniversary, Peaceville Records are releasing the 3CD set, Frostland Tapes on June 9th 2008. This is a fascinating trip into the earliest years of the band and the first official release ever to contain all 4 of Darkthrone’s demos in one place.

The set comes in a rigid digibook featuring an interview with the band, chronicling their early days, ambitions and inspirations.

A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Darkthrone's second album, was originally issued in 1992 and was without question the blueprint release for the Black Metal scene.

An album that defined the now ubiquitous phrase 'True Norwegian Black Metal', it was hailed on release as an album of true scene shifting greatness.

The album that saw a whole new blacker than black Darkthrone.

F.O.A.D. Special Edition comes in a clambox and includes an exclusive postcard set and poster. This item can also be bought with a limited 'Fuck off and Die' T-Shirt.

2007 was significant in the world of black metal, as it marked the 20th year of one of the most respected and influential bands ever - Darkthrone. The legendary Norwegian duo return with a new set of tracks and sounding as free as ever on this fine slab of evil rock…black metal…whatever people want to call it.

Writing began on ‘FOAD’ straight after the completion of last year’s acclaimed ‘The Cult is Alive’. Recorded, mixed & all self-produced once again at the band’s own Necrohell 2 studios throughout the first half of 2007, this labour of love (or is it hate?) travels deep into the open seas of a rich musical heritage; a celebration of rock and metal; moving further from the pure primitive black metal they were once known for, but still embracing the roots of what made this tree grow so far and wide. Yet still, Darkthrone only exist according to their OWN rules. Summarised perfectly by Fenriz, FOAD “SOUNDS LIKE A WAR BETWEEN ATLANTIS AND THE REST OF PLANET!”.

Features the tracks ‘Wisdom of the Dead’ & ‘Canadian Metal’ in their original versions, as opposed to the recent ‘NWOBHM – New Wave Of Black Heavy Metal’ EP’s alternate renditions of the songs.

The cover artwork comes courtesy of artist Dennis Dread, the man responsible for the latest ABSCESS album art for ‘Horrorhammer’, which was released on Darkthrone’s own Peaceville sub-label , Tyrant Syndicate Productions.

This deluxe edition features 2 CDs and a DVD and comes in a clam box, complete with poster & booklet containing an in-depth interview with the band, conducted by UK journalist James Hinchliffe.

Darkthrone hail from Norway and for the past decade have been at the forefront of the infamous Black Metal movement - quite an achievement for a band who have only ever played a handful of live shows.

Darkthrone's debut album 'Soulside Journey' was recorded at the much acclaimed Sunlight Studios in Sweden, and shows a major band at the beginning of a justly celebrated career of evil.

THE CULT IS ALIVE is the fetid, rotting, rocking first fruits of Darkthrone's second coming at Peaceville.

A Special limited Norwegian edition boxed CD (with additional video clips) is also available.

Transilvanian Hunger is Darkthrone's classic 4th album from 1994.

Controversy surrounds the album, as amongst the writing credits is Varg Vikernes of Burzum, who achieved infamy when he was tried and found guilty of murdering Euronymous.

Stranger still, Euronymous introduced Darkthrone to Varg.

Under A Funeral Moon, Darkthrone's third album, was originally released by Peaceville in 1993.

The album is a bleak reflection of the times with harsh guitar riffage and hateful vocals underpinned by Fenriz' celebrated tight and complex drum patterns.

This is the album that most Darkthrone fans hail as the ultimate manifesto for Black Metal.
