DARKTHRONE - Thulcandra the legendary demo 1989 handnumber (527/666)

  Darkthrone is a Norwegian black metal band that was formed in 1986 by Gylve Nagell and Ivar Enger. The band has been a significant contributor to the black metal genre and has played an important role in shaping its development. Throughout their long and storied career, Darkthrone has released a number of critically acclaimed albums, and their music has had a profound impact on the metal scene.

  One of the most notable aspects of Darkthrone's music is its raw and primitive sound. This is a deliberate choice on the part of the band, as they have always been committed to maintaining an authentic and uncompromising approach to their music. The band's early albums, such as "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" and "Under a Funeral Moon," are regarded as classics of the black metal genre, and their sound was a major influence on many other bands that came after them.

  Over the years, Darkthrone has continued to evolve and experiment with different styles and sounds. While their early albums were characterized by a fierce and aggressive approach, the band has also incorporated elements of doom metal, punk, and even traditional heavy metal into their music. This willingness to explore new territory and push the boundaries of the genre has made Darkthrone one of the most innovative and forward-thinking bands in the black metal scene.

  Despite their many accomplishments and contributions to the metal scene, Darkthrone has also been a controversial band throughout their career. The band's early association with the Norwegian black metal scene, which was notorious for its extreme views and violent actions, has led to accusations of fascism and racism being leveled against the band. However, the members of Darkthrone have always denied these claims and have maintained that their music is intended as an expression of rebellion and defiance, rather than a statement of political ideology.
