"Darkthrone is among many Norwegian bands that have evolved themselves into a kind of black,gritty,rock n roll metal sound. It all started when Abbath formed the band I, and Shagrath formed the band Chrome Division. Both worship at the alter of Motorhead. Satyricon's Now Diabolical is also a heavy Metal sounding CD. All are exceptional recordings. Darkthrone's contribution to the blackened metal, F.O.A.D. and their last CD: The cult is alive, are fun, interesting, and a blast to listen to. Not heavy or serious, this is fun heavy party music. I like this new sound these guys have created. It beats the hell out of an album of non stop blast beats and screaming vocals. Not for the elite Kvltish Black Metal fan."
