Description:

Norwegian black metal legends DARKTHRONE’s 19th full-length album in 21 years!This album is described by Fenriz as “five dinosaurs gazing at the stars in a bewildered and curious way”, and is the result of the band’s nostalgic style, including their 18th full-length in 2007, which sublimated influences from CANDLEMASS and others, and their 16th full-length in 2001, which became more orthodox and epic. Starting with #2 “HATE CLOAK”, which reminds us of the darkness, bewitchment, and magic of the roots of BLACK SABBATH, CELTIC FROST, etc., the richness of their 70’s love for the genre is wonderful. If you have been following their music history through radio, foreign zines, etc., you will be able to grin!The artwork, which uses SF artist David A. Hardy’s 1972 “Pluto and Charon,” also seems to represent the current state of the metal underground.
