DARKTHRONE To Release Arctic Thunder Album In October; Artwork Revealed
August 9, 2016, 8 years ago
Norwegian duo, Darkthrone, has announced its new album, Arctic Thunder, to be released on October 14th via Peaceville. Arctic Thunder marks the band's first new studio material since 2013's triumphant The Underground Resistance, its most successful release in recent years.
An eclectic mix of free-spirited '80s fueled blackened heavy metal, all executed in Darkthrone's trademark raw and organic style, Arctic Thunder was recorded and produced by the band themselves, with the sessions conducted at Darkthrone's old rehearsal unit, The Bomb Shelter, which was originally used during 1988-1990. Mastering is once again handled by Jack Control at Enormous Door.
With themes based around hate, contempt, and the inner mind and 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.
Stay tuned for more information on Darkthrone and Arctic Thunder, out this fall on Peaceville.
