Darkthrone - Goatlord

THE ORIGINALLY INTENDED SECOND ALBUM OF TECHNICAL DEATH/DOOM METAL FROM THE NORWEGIAN LEGENDS INCLUDING NEW ARTWORK.

Darkthrone began life in the late 80's, experimenting with thrash, death & doom metal before eventually delving into the black metal genre & becoming synonymous with the style as one of the most highly regarded acts.

�Goatlord� is the title of what was to originally be Darkthrone�s second album. The style followed very much in the vein of the debut, Soulside Journey, with a mid-paced melodic, yet technical death metal style. After the recording of the tracks in their completed demo form in 1991, however, Darkthrone�s focus shifted towards black metal and a more primitive style of composition & so the album was shelved, while work commenced on what was to be the Norwegian black metal milestone, �A Blaze in the Northern Sky�, which actually incorporated some parts from the �Goatlord� tracks.

This edition of �Goatlord� contains new artwork, plus a bonus track in the form of the original demo version of 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky'.
