Darkthrone: A Blaze In The Northern Sky
review by ©Scarlet Metal & whoresofchaos.com
 
The Darkthrone 'cult is alive' indeed, thanks to the black seeds of perfection
that were sown with the first release of this album back in 1991. If truth be told, no written word will ever do this quixotically brilliant black metal masterpiece justice. Withstanding the test of time, Darkthrone continues to be revered as the paradigm of 'second generation' raw Norwegian black metal. Although 'Transylvanian Hunger', is most often referred to as this band's magnum opus,
'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' is equally magnificent in it's own right.
 
For me and many other fans of black metal, this album includes much of unparalleled eerie beauty
of Darkthrone in all of it's gritty base blakk metal glory!
