Darkthrone - Unveil New Album Details


The Norwegian black metal juggernauts Darkthrone have released some new info regarding their upcoming album Arctic Thunder, as well as the album's cover art. The band promises the album to be a bit more raw and serious than usual, with Nocturno Culto responsible for all vocal duties. The full news statement from the band can be read below.

Darkthrone's Fenriz explained: "Hi folks, it's time to talk a bit about our new album - and as I don't like to talk or write about music much I can say that it is more serious and primitive than usual. Vocals are only done by Ted as I thought this would create a more solemn/introvert atmosphere. The album is called Arctic Thunder because it is my fave bandname (old mega-obscure Norwegian band from the 80s that I asked the permission from to use as an album title). Meanwhile here is the cover, it is from the personal camping archives from a trip some years ago to Spålsberget in Nordmarka. It has the usual spruce-tree skyline and also a bonfire - there will be another limited colour version with orange logo and title, because that was MY favourite colour, but the usual release looks like this in silver - as this was Ted's favourite version."

Cover art looks amazing specially setting up a perfect scene - simple, soft nature with amazing logo and album name. Like these type of arts alot.

Look forward to new Darkthrone CD.

Being honest, the knee-jerk reaction spelled clearly: Weak. Shit.

Don't think anyone can deny that if you slapped off the DT logo you'd be left with terrible genericalness.

I do, however, love this band to bits; and upon discovering the fact that the photo is from a personal trip lends a whole other sheen of DIY cred.

I don't hate it, but the previous one was just so much cooler.

Great! i hope they go back to raw black metal, and quit the punk stuff and even the retro thrash speed stuff of the last record.
I'd even prefer something more experimental like Plaguewielder than any of their last 4 albums.

If Culto's voice is like it has been in recent releases, I might skip this one. I prefer Fenriz' voice these days.
