Pre-Historic Metal sounds like Darkthrone digging even deeper into the dirt and dust of old metal roots. The album mixes primitive black metal atmosphere with crust-punk energy and heavy, caveman-like riffs that feel intentionally raw and unpolished. Fenriz and Nocturno Culto keep everything stripped down, but the hooks are stronger than expected, especially in the mid-paced tracks where the groove hits hardest.
The production is ugly in the best possible way, warm, distorted, and alive , giving the record the feeling of an underground tape found in a forgotten basement. It’s not a modern metal album trying to sound old; it genuinely feels obsessed with the spirit of the ‘80s underground.

아무리 들어도 이건 백점짜리 앨범인듯 하다
1집에서 지향하던 그런음악이 전혀아니다. 이들이 이런 앨범을 낼지 누가 예상이나 했을까? 이건 진짜 블랙바이블이다.
이들이 이 앨범을 낸것이 우연이었을까? 우연이라고 하기엔 너무 질서정연하고 완벽하다. 우연이아닌 이들의 재능이란것... Read More

Norwegian 'Trve' Black Metal Band....Darkthrone!
이들의 '여덟'번째 作品인 Ravishing Grimness는... 여전히 Norweigan Black Metal만의 'Trve'함을 誇示하고 있다...

Darkthrone forms one of the three pillars of what I consider, and actually what most people consider, to be a 'true Norwegian black metal', along with Emperor and Mayhem. Like others have mentioned in their comments and reviews, their influence over latter generation of black metal stands impervious and still; though I believe it is mainly due to their second studio album "A Bl...

Though a legendary album now, Darkthrone’s A Blaze in the Northern Sky would have been a total shock to anyone previously following the band. Their debut was straight Death Metal, and though it did have a focus on melodies and cold atmospheres, other than that it had very little in common with this creature. I can only guess they started listening to Bathory and decided to go... Read More

Darkthrone의 전성기는 언제까지로 봐야 합당할까? 어떤 앨범까지 정확하게 나누기는 어렵다. 적어도 확실하게 말할 수 있는 것은 Darkthrone을 좋아하는 사람들이 Transilvanian Hunger까지는 Black Metal의 마스터피스로 인정한다는 것이다. 문제는 이후의 작품들이다. 혹자는 Panzerfaust까지로 보기도 하... Read More

Darkthrone의 A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon, Transilvanian Hunger 세 작품을 Black Metal의 마스터피스로 인정하지 않는 블랙 메탈러는 아마도 별로 없을 것이라 생각한다. 이 세 작품은 블랙 메탈의 양식미를 완성한 작품으로 오늘날까지 기억되고 있다. 그러나 이 뒤에 나온 작품들은 명반으... Read More
