Darkthrone - Sardonic Wrath

Darkthrone's 2004 release of cold and raw black metal excellence - now on Peaceville, with bonus commentary disc from Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.Darkthrone originally formed in the late 80's as a thrash/death metal act & progressed through a period technical death and doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene.'Sardonic Wrath' was initially released in 2004 and was Darkthrone's final album for the Moonfog Productions label. With a suitably raw sound courtesy of Lars Klokkerhaug, the album delivers a wholly grim selection of black metal greatness courtesy of Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, with a dose of pure 80s metal influence as ever coursing through their veins. Regarded as a particular highlight of Darkthrone's Moonfog era albums, 'Sardonic Wrath' also features guest vocals from Apollyon of countrymen Aura Noir/Immortal.This 2CD edition of 'Sardonic Wrath' includes a bonus commentary disc with Fenriz & Nocturno reflecting on the tracks & their inspirations at the time of writing the material, as the music plays in the background.
