Anatomia NOR: Darkthrone I (OF IX)
Darkthrone – a legendary band. Deservedly, or not, Fenriz and Nocturno Culto (the core of the band) have created a significant chapter in metal history. While many bands or projects fell apart, lost their essence, disappointed people, or completely changed their image, Darkthrone with age became better or at least more interesting. I have a somewhat unhealthy fetish for bands with extensive discographies, and when a band has also evolved, it was inevitable that I would want to take a closer look at what they were doing.
Darkthrone is a group that has just as many supporters as it does opponents. Even their supporters have a limited tolerance for the band's discography, and you could even say they tend to like either a specific period or up to a certain year. Few people look at their work with uncritical adoration. For many opponents, Darkthrone represents everything posers stand for in Metal. The level of dislike sometimes reaches such an extent that projects arise with names as telling as 'Darkthrone is Dead'.
However, no matter how you look at the musical quality (which I will discuss in more detail later), it has to be admitted that Darkthrone, in many ways, represents everything one would want to achieve if one dreams of playing Metal – absolute kvlt, a trilogy of albums that defined the genre, no touring, simply creating what you love without any compulsion, for the sake of passion, and achieving the status of Metal sages. Many of us would love to be in Fenriz's or Culto's shoes.
