Peaceville

Darkthrone's 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’.


‘Dark Thrones & Black Flags’ is equal parts Fenriz and Nocturno Culto. The duo share song-writing and vocal duties throughout the release (with some surprising results) and further perfect the art of ‘the riff’. A deceptive mastery of composition is also evident on possibly their strongest release of recent times – an album of stripped down, dirty metal.


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.
