Can't wait to read *another* wave of "their latest stuff sucks so much* comments.

Just here because it'll happen someday, or has an album been announced?

Yeah, the 1-2 take approach and owning their own studio enables them to crank it when they get together.

I have a feeling that 2012 is gonna be an epic year for new releases.... for this one, the only thing I ask is riff, upon riff, upon rifffffff !

They won't disappoint, for sure.

I dont care what anyone says, I love pretty much everything Darkthrone have done. This promises to be as good as usual.

Oh, I'm quite sure they won't disappoint me...

THE UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE. Sounds Frenchy and badass.

Regardless of their style, I'm positive this is not going to be bad. Pure black, crust punk, doom, whatever.

^^^Reminds me of a more black metal King Diamond. I dig it quite a bit and look forward the album's release...

why keep people saying it reminds them of Kind Diamond when it sounds way more like a mix of Exciter and Agent Steel, especially the John Cyriis like vocals and halfway it goes into total Celtic Frost territory

Maybe cuz those of us saying King Diamond are not as familiar with those aforementioned bands as you?

I wonder if we should tell Jooe his list is outdated...

I've been aware for a while that a ton of stuff on that list is obsolete. I can't be arsed to edit it though. Might just delete it.

and given Darkthrone's penchant for more obsucre heavy metal and speed metal and referecing that in their music it is also way more logical to have Agent Steel and Exciter shine through than KD ;-)

Fair enough, you would know better about the older metal than I do. Plus I never got that big into Darkthrone but since I have recently acquired a slight taste for crust punk and knowing that Darkthrone shifted to crustpunk some albums back and now hearing this new (and rather interesting) shift I am thinking I need to go back and give Darkthrone another listen.

I have all their albums up to The Cult Is Alive but since I never acquired much of a taste for them or crust punk I never bothered to check out anything past TCIA... *shrug*

If you liked this then check out the ones after TCIA.... They didn't really continue with crust punka fter that one.

"Leave No Cross Unturned" sounds awesome and terrible at the same time, although I'm leaning towards awesome.

Yeah, I'm not fan of new Darkthrone, but hey, let's just listen to old Darkthrone and that's it. Who cares if they suck now...

It would be so awesome if more people were like you. xD To hear the same whiny comments was fun the first or two times they released an album of this style but now it's getting old.

Full version of the song. I approve. Just what one expected, two nice songs smashed together.

Not quite sure why that song is 14 minutes long. There's nowhere near enough going on there to warrant it. Quite uninteresting.

The riff at the end

They suck because they aren't kvlt!!! Jk, I actually love all their new stuff, but it helps that I am already a fan of crust punk to begin with. But yeah I am looking forward to more people bitching about how they aren't full on black metal anymore, it just shows who appreciates the music versus those who listen to old Darkthrone to gain some kind of status or whatever it is they are trying to do.

This seems ok on first play through. Not as good as I was hoping but not as bad as I was expecting based on the song they released. Could be a grower.

Valkyrie is a really good song. This release may be as enjoyable as their previous one was.

This album...wait for it....fuckin kills!

Leave No Cross Unturned ended up being the highlight for me. Love that song. Rest of the album is all really good, none of it hits me as hard as that track and their previous four full lengths do though.

Pretty much what I expected.
