About
Darkthrone, From Norwegian death metal roots to black metal pioneers since 1986.
Over 30 studio albums, key early black metal LPs, and collectible pressings tracked in real time.
Darkthrone formed in Norway in 1986, initially playing death metal. Their 1992 album A Blaze in the Northern Sky marked a decisive turn towards black metal, influencing the Norwegian scene profoundly. The band mainly consists of duo Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, who also maintain day jobs outside music. Over time, their sound incorporated punk and traditional heavy metal influences, particularly from the 2000s onwards, while retaining a raw production style. Their vinyl releases on labels like Peaceville cover a broad span from early seminal black metal to their latest albums slated into the mid-2020s.
