Black Metal

’A Blaze In The Northern Sky’, Darkthrone’s second album, was originally released in 1992 and was without question the blueprint release for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal centered debut, ’Soulside Journey’.

With a legacy of audial treasures spanning more than 35 years, and a fountain of creativity ever flowing, Darkthrone returns in 2024 with an epic odyssey boasting classic riffs and vintage sounding Metal.

The seven track studio opus It Beckons Us All sees the longstanding duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto presenting an even more refined, challenging and diverse set of timeless anthems. The uncompromising trailblazers shift from the melodic to the sombre and atmospheric to blackened dirges emanating from Darkthrone’s unique riffing.

Includes the astonishing 10 minute closer, The Lone Pines Of The Lost Planet.

Death Metal

Darkthrone began in the late 80’s as a thrash/death metal act & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands.

Soulside Journey was Darkthrone’s debut studio album after signing with Peaceville Records, following their cult Cromlech demo. It was recorded in 1990 at Sunlight Studios in Sweden with Tomas Skogsberg, notable for his work with Entombed & many other acts over the years. Soulside Journey contained tracks of atmospheric & often technical & complex death metal, with influences ranging from acts such as Autopsy & Death. This was the band’s only death metal album before turning to a more primitive black metal style, but is still rightly regarded as a masterpiece of the genre.

Recorded in November and December 1993.

Famously written and recorded over a period of just 2 weeks and featuring the iconic photocopied front cover, ’Transilvanian Hunger’ features primitive guitar riffs over a monotonous drum beat creating a feel of hypnotic starkness with its blend of Von, Burzum and Bathory. Over the years the album has become representative of the definitive 90’s Norwegian black metal sound and style, often copied but never bettered over the past 2 decades.

The album was recorded with Fenriz’ ’Necrohell’ studio, and was the first release where the band became a duo, following the departure of guitarist Zephyrous.

Black Metal

Featuring the talents of Italian multi-instrumentalist Omega (Fides Inversa, Chaos Invocation, Blut Aus Nord, Kult, Frostmoon Eclipse, Martröð) handling all instruments as always, and Norwegian voice of Death; Wraath (Behexen, Dark Sonority, Mare, Celestial Bloodshed, Kaosritual and One Tail, One Head) handling the main vocal duties. Darvaza is indeed an unholy alliance forged in decay. After three EP’s via Terratur Possessions from Norway; “The Downward Descent” (2015), “The Silver Chalice” (2016) and “Darkness In Turmoil” (2018), it’s time for their debut full length, entitled “Ascending Into Perdition”! The album shows a natural progression for the band, with more focus on production and a varied, dynamic tracklist without ever straying away for what was always the foundation of the band;

No gimmicks, no bullshit; pure Black Metal Devotion.

The third curse of Darvaza. Lightening a new Sun towards the darkest mystery, where fearless unfeard he slept
