DARKTHRONE 8211 Pre-Historic Metal 8211 LP 8211 Black Vinyl MAY 8

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl (1LP). The new studio album of primitive metal from the Norse cavemen. In a year which marks the 40th anniversary since the initial formation – under the moniker of Black Death – of what would subsequently grow into influential genre legends, 2026 marks the return of the imperishable Norwegian duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto for their new opus of high caliber old metal, under the banner of \’Pre-Historic Metal\’. As Fenriz himself proclaims of the title\’s symbolic origin, \”Prehistoric is a loose term. I just figure it\’s our VIBE, our take on things & it\’s more a statement that we use old style to create something new\”. \’Pre-Historic Metal\’ contains eight tracks of primal epics & gargantuan riffs with organic sound & the ever-present permeating spirit of the 70\’s & 80\’s, for a new continuation of the mastery witnessed on 2024\’s \’It Beckons Us All\’. This next chapter in Darkthrone\’s extensive & ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy & Doom Metal &, adorned with a punishing & \”in your face\” guitar presence, Darkthrone stirs the cauldron of savage creativity with a nod to the writing methods which were indicative of their earlier works of the late 80\’s, but with a more refined craft. \’Pre-Historic Metal\’ was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work conducted by Ole Ovstedal, Silje Hogevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door, & Maor Appelbaum Mastering. Tracklist: 1. They Found One Of My Graves ( 05:17 )2. Pre-Historic Metal ( 04:19 )3. Siberian Thaw ( 06:45 )4.
