Darkthrone announce new album

Extreme metal legends DARKTHRONE have announced a brand new record for release later this year!

The Norwegian duo have revealed the first details surrounding their sixteenth record. Titled Arctic Thunder, the record was written and recorded by Nocturno Culto and Fenriz themselves. The sessions were conducted at DARKTHRONE‘s old rehearsal unit, The Bomb Shelter, which the band had originally used during 1988-1990.

With themes based around hate, contempt, and the inner mind & soul, and with the notable presence of Nocturno Culto on vocal duties across all songs for the first time in recent years, Arctic Thunder retains a grim atmosphere throughout the album’s eight tracks. Mastering has once again been handled by Jack Control at Enormous Door.
