Initially forming as Black Death back in 1986, now one of the most notable metal bands to have emerged from Norway.
From the death/doom technicality of 1991's debut masterpiece 'Soulside Journey', through the spearheading of the notorious "second wave of black metal" period of the earlier 1990s, & the integration of punk & heavy doom elements along with way, the Nordic titans have undoubtedly carved an exquisite & eclectic legacy.
'The Fist In The Face Of God' focuses on the purer black metal period of the band in this limited deluxe set. Featuring nine classic albums in this collection, from the "unholy trinity" of Peaceville albums spanning 1992's genre-defining 'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' up until 1994's 'Transilvanian Hunger' opus, the set concludes with Darkthrone's 2004 swansong for then label, Moonfog Productions, in the form of 'Sardonic Wrath'.
With each album having received a freshly updated master courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony to ensure they remain in line with the originals, each title is also supplied with their original covers & sleeve designs & presented on heavyweight vinyl.
Furthermore, included in the set is a 48-page book written by longtime friend of the band, Harald Fossberg, detailing the career of Darkthrone through this essential period for the band's development & output, & contains rare images from the period. Accompanying this is a DVD with an exclusive interview with both Fenriz & Nocturno Culto also conducted by Harald Fossberg, covering the full history of the band, plus bonus features in the form of a trilogy of interviews from 2003, plus the band's rare 1996 live show in Oslo.
Finally, the set includes a selection of posters & art prints containing artwork & classic band photography.
