PRESENTED ON LIMITED BLACK & WHITE SPLATTER VINYL
In a year which marks the 40th anniversary since the initial formation - under the
moniker of Black Death - of what would subsequently grow into influential genre
legends, 2026 marks the return of the imperishable Norwegian duo of Fenriz &
Nocturno Culto for their new opus of high calibre old metal, under the banner of 'PreHistoric Metal'. As Fenriz himself proclaims of the title's symbolic origin, "Prehistoric
is a loose term. I just figure it's our VIBE, our take on things & it's more a statement
that we use old style to create something new".
'Pre- Historic Metal' contains eight tracks of primal epics & gargantuan riffs with
organic sound & the ever- present permeating spirit of the 70s & 80s, for a new
continuation of the mastery witnessed on 2024's 'It Beckons Us All'. This next chapter
in Darkthrone's extensive & ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the
sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy & Doom Metal &, adorned with a punishing
& "in your face" guitar presence, Darkthrone stirs the cauldron of savage creativity with
a nod to the writing methods which were indicative of their earlier works of the late
80s, but with a more refined craft.
'Pre-Historic Metal' was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work
conducted by Ole Ovstedal, Silje Hogevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by
Jack Control at Enormous Door, & Maor Appelbaum Mastering.
This edition of 'Pre-Historic Metal' is presented on limited black & white splatter vinyl
