In their formative years, Darkthrone initially started making their mark with a strong concoction of thrash \u0026amp; then death\/doom metal experimentation, before the debut album ‘Soulside Journey’ was unleashed in 1991. Never ones to follow convention or stand still even then, the band soon embraced a much darker, more primitive form of expression with the now iconic second album ‘A Blaze in the Northern Sky’, \u0026amp; the rest became history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow the longstanding duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto return with their first studio album since 2016’s hugely popular ‘Arctic Thunder’ opus, in the shape of ‘Old Star’. With a mastery and endless dedication to the art of the riff, the Norwegian legends cut through 6 new epic tracks, taking in the best of the old school of heavy \u0026amp; extreme metal plus a large dose of doom-laden riffing, \u0026amp; channelling it through the grime of the underground. Engineering and production duties were all carried out by vocalist\/guitarist Nocturno Culto, complemented with a perfectly organic mix courtesy of Sanford Parker (Voivod) at Hypercube Studios, \u0026amp; mastered once more by Jack Control at Enormous Door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stellar cover artistry comes courtesy of Chadwick St John, titled “The Shepherd of the Deep”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ORCHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531082416346,"sku":"DARKTHRONE-OLD-STAR-PICTURE-DISC","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/image_47965a5a-2034-4fed-bd79-1064dc1b90a2_2023.jpg?v=1769204092","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/darkthrone-old-star-picture-disc","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
