THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM OF EPIC BLACK HEAVY METAL FROM THE NORWEGIAN LEGENDS

“Five heavy dinosaurs looking in wonder and bewilderment at the stars" Fenriz

With the highly revered Norwegians remaining ever-dedicated to the art of the riff after 35 years of existence, Darkthrone return for album number nineteen and a new dose of metallic godliness. On the back of 2019’s triumphant ‘Old Star’ opus, the duo of Nocturno Culto & Fenriz present a 41 minute maelstrom of Epic Black Heavy Metal across five sprawling compositions. Organic and dynamic, the album is an exploration of the very finest vintage metal and the best of doom, all delivered in the unmistakable Darkthrone style, whilst also incorporating instruments such as the Moog to further expand upon these soundscapes.

Eschewing the process of using their own Necrohell II studios - which has served the band so well over the last 15 years - & welcoming a change of environment and the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, ‘Eternal Hails……’ was recorded at Chaka Khan Studio in Oslo, & engineered by Ole Ovstedal & Silje Høgevold, breathing new life into the sound while retaining the essence of Darkthrone’s natural, raw feeling.

The cover artwork features the piece “Pluto and Charon” (1972), from renowned science fiction artist David A. Hardy; a hugely inspirational image for both Fenriz & Nocturno Culto spanning several decades, and this also stands as a symbolic link between the genre-bending styles apparent on Darkthrone’s earliest works, to those same traits evident on ‘Eternal Hails……’.

Praise for previous album Old Star:

“telegraphs Darkthrone’s cackling, sardonic grimness so as to transpose a blackened atmosphere into speed metal riff salad” - The Wire Magazine

“Darkthrone is still a force to be reckoned with" - Aftonbladet

"Sechs epische Tracks aus der alten Schule des Black Metal mit einer Dosis Doom-geladener Riffs zeigen, wer die Könige des Undergrounds sind." - E.M.P.

“Indeed they might now be "old stars" but they are still burning bright, retaining that exceptional light that first grabbed our attention three decades ago” - Metal Hammer - 4.5/5

“With Old Star, the dynamic duo continue to create compelling music on their terms, satisfying many generations of extreme music fans” - Metal Injection – 8/10

“Album eines: METAL and RIFFS!!! Und genau dafür sollte man der Kult-Institution dankbar sein. MEISTERWERK!!! +++ 10 / 10 Punkten” - Black Salvation 10/10

Only four songs clocking in at 36 minutes of some of the best death metal I’ve heard in years. The riffs are excellent throw backs to some of the greatest OSDM like Morbid Angel, but the melodic sections and synth material really brings this release above the rest of the pack! Dingus
