THE 2013 ALBUM OF RAGING METAL FROM THE NORWEGIAN GODFATHERS FUSING THE BEST OF CLASSIC HEAVY, THRASH & BLACK METAL TO PERFECTION. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD IN JEWEL CASE.
Darkthrone began life in the late 80’s as an eclectic thrash/death metal act & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world. They were one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands.
‘The Underground Resistance’ was Darkthrone’s 2013 venture through the metal cosmos, & first new album since their 2010 ‘Circle The Wagons’ opus. A continuation of the free-spirited metallic lands the duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto have been roaming for the past decade, ‘The Underground Resistance’ contains Darkthrone’s trademark masterful riffing in a broad range of styles, effortlessly bounding through the annals of classic metal, taking in heavy, thrash & black metal. All things considered, a ferocious & dynamic set of tracks drenched in Fenriz’s & Nocturno’s rich & diverse tastes in all things metal, primarily those rooted firmly in the spirit of the 80’s. 6 tracks long, & every one an epic in itself, this is undoubtedly Darkthrone’s strongest outing of late. ‘The Underground Resistance’ was written & recorded spring 2010 to summer 2012 at Necrohell 2 studios by the band themselves. The album was mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door, Texas USA. Cover artwork also comes courtesy of the iconic & celebrated artist Jim Fitzpatrick.
