"Nothing to prove / Just a hellish rock'n'roll freak / You call your metal black / It's just fucking lame and weak"
Darkthrone wastes no time in laying down the law and telling you exactly what they're about. As if you couldn't tell by their trademark buzzsaw guitars and plodding beats. In a scene where grimness and regression are sought-after virtues, none are more true than Darkthrone. Bands like Mayhem get chastised for attempting to update their sound, but Darkthrone steadfastly soldiers on. There are few things you can count on in this world, but you always know what you're getting with these guys. But sometimes they do try to put one over on us - C'mon guys, what's up with that Siouxsie and the Banshees cover? My automatic reaction is to deny their self-awareness, their sense of humor. They're too kvlt for that, right? But it's there and it's undeniable. Darkthrone is smiling.
