December 11, 2010, 13 years ago
We continue to count down the finest slabs of metal from the last year, as chosen by the devout scribes here at BW&BK;/BraveWords.com. As with previous years, each writer was asked to pick his top 20 albums of the year (no live records, compilations or covers etc...). We perform a little behind-the-scenes metal math and voila, we have our list! We'll be counting down the Top 30 all month - yup, one a day until we get to New Year's - yes, we're aware that December has 31 daze but we thought we'd let you hang until January 1st!
It's time for #21 - drum roll please...
#21 - DARKTHRONE - Circle The Wagons (Peaceville)
Legendary Norwegian black metallers DARKTHRONE released their latest studio album, Circle The Wagons, in April.
About the release, Darkthrone drummer/lyricist, Fenriz remarked, "it is a message to the invaders of our metal domain to circle their wagons! With our own brand of heavy metal/speed metal-punk we are a constant ambush on the modern overground metal traitors. Join us in our fight against instant gratification, and let's see who stands when the smoke clears.”
Circle The Wagons featured artwork courtesy of Dennis Dread, notable for his talents on previous Darkthrone albums, 2007's F.O.A.D and 2008’s Dark Thrones And Black Flags.
