This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Darkthrone is a Black Metal band from Norway. They formed in the mid-late 80s as a Death Metal band named Black Death. The original lineup consisted of Gylve Nagell, Ivar Enger, and Anders Risberget (who left the band early on). Ted Skjellum and Dag Nilsen soon joined the band and they changed their name to Darkthrone. After recording and releasing four demos independently, Darkthrone signed to Peaceville Records and recorded their debut album, Soulside Journey. This was followed by the instrumental demo tape Goatlord, however the band decided to shelve this album rather than make it into an album proper as they became interested in Black Metal and changed their musical style accordingly. While recording their next album, A Blaze in the Northern Sky, the band members adopted pseudonyms - Nagell became "Fenriz", Skjellum became "Nocturno Culto", Enger became "Zephyrous", while Nilsen left after the album was finished. Darkthrone's third album Under a Funeral Moon, saw the band shed all remaining Death Metal elements. Zephyrous left after the recording of Funeral, and the band has remained a two-piece ever since. Their fourth album, Transilvanian Hunger, had much rawer production than previous releases and was controversial for containing some lyrics and backwards spoken messages from the infamous Varg Vikernes and for the message "Norsk Arisk Black Metal" ("Norwegian Aryan Black Metal") on the album booklet. |
