Your Review:

This shameful release is the final nail in the coffin for me. This is no longer Darkthrone. It has typical Moonfag production, artwork, everything. Clean, happy riffs, weak vocals, complete lack of decent songwriting. I think I found maybe one riff that I liked out of these crappy songs and if you meet me on Irc I'll be happy to let you leech it for free providing you will not buy the album. Moonfag needs to cease existance, they (Or Darkthrone really) haven't released anything good since panzerfaust and I will gladly help rip them off by downloading all post panzerfaust moonfag releases in mp3 format. Satyr is afraid of mp3's because ppl will realise just how crappy his releases are (Shityricon and Moonfag) and won't waste the rip off prices he charges.

Just to reiterate, Don't buy this!!

The latest "Darkthrone"-outtake is in a very modern sound-clothing. In my opinion "Plaguewielder" sounds a little bit like Satyricon's "Intermezzo II" or "Rebel Extravaganza".
But it has nothing to do with the best "Darkthrone"-CD's "Under a funeral moon" and "Transilvanian Hunger". It is like "Ravishing grimness" meets Satyricon.

haha...well i rekon its good. Plenty of good hard riffs..Fenriz playing well..not OVER produced.still nice and rocky ..and Nocturno is singing quite nice...Not the best Darkthrone release..but im not expecting an "Under a funeral moon II"

Review by: carcass_alex



Fenriz and Nocturno, I guess, wanted to try something different this time. Well, in that respect I thnk they succeeded in reaching decent "new representation" of Darkthrone. Not their best, but a good release worthy of the Darkthrone name. I can see why some fans don't like this sound but Nocturno did say that the next album would be more primitive and atmospheric. I'm looking forward to that one.

Satyr must have made this when Fenriz and Culto were drunk...the bitch. Nothing like DARKTHRONE. utter trash.

Review by: schaambaard



This album simply and to put it in one word: SUCKS! Fuck, when i heard it for the first time i though i was listening to some rock and roll, or country band. Its a crime to says this is good, Darkthrone should end instead of putting out shameful albuns like this and slowly destroying what they have made in the past...

Review by: AutumnSorrow



This is a quite diferent one. It doesn't sound like Darkthrone.. but it couldn't be anything else too. The cold riffing is there... the dark feeling too, and so does the raw voice of Nocturno Culto... but it also sounds much more "modern" (if i can aplly the word in this case..).
In my modest opinoin it's a very good album, although we can't compare it to the freezing colosus that was "A Blaze in the Northern Sky".

Review by: WeaklingAvenger



well....i like this albun......is no by far the best or like the old ones but it is good......simple black metal.......with not much inspiration............

well lets wait for the new one....nocturno him self said that it was great heheheehhe lest see

Review by: Sad Spirit



This new darkthrone is pure shit, not that they were very good anyway. The music is so boring now and the vocals just plain suck. I wish fenriz would just kill himself, but first kill satyr cause satyricon suck now too. Fuck Darkthrone. Die Fagriz!!!

Review by: Beast of Prey



No need to always remind old Darkthrone while talking about the new albums.
Darkthrone has changed, and its very good, because if they would continue repeating themselves too hard it would come out as shit, while actually their new era is presenting us with quite a good quality black metal.
the quality which im talking about means roughness which no other band is even close to, and same as the guitars which are there all the time, the drumbeats, everything.
the coldness is endless.

Review by: forgotten



Didn't get the fucking problem yet.... some of you hate it, some of you love it, what is the fucking problem? This album in my opinion is just great, different from old Darkthrone, but who gives a shit? They keep giving us good black metal....
A must buy, for me... really love it

Review by: Vampyric



You know.. Darkthrone hasnt gone to do any commercial crap, like many other so called "norwegian black metal" bands.
And i dont think the guys would like to do panzerfaust or maybe transilvanian hunger over and over again..
I think darkthrone is the best blackmetal band there is.
Should every album be so "grim" or "dark" or full of "despair" ??? If you want to listen grim and dark blackmetal, just put transilvanian hunger in your player, and quit the god damn whine.. I think this album is pretty good.

Review by: kurja



I agree totally with Kurja, and they probably made this album suck on purpose, to stay true, and weed out the ignorant fools who dont know why the album sounds the way it does. I dont even think its bad at all, and in fact, Total Death and Ravishing Grimness were great too. They make the music for themselves-That's true. They dont make the music for the fans, especially you little worms who whine that darkthrone suck and compare them to satyricon. How lame!

Review by: fosvart



whatttt'sss uuuuuuuup????!!!!!! this album is the reivindication of the master of darkness darkthrone!!!, who say that it is bad???, donīt you heard it???!!!, donīt you fucking heard it??? the first song weacler avenger, second song "raining murder", enjoy it please, let you mortal corpe be touched by the fingers of afflicted death, this album shows us totally what darkthrone can be made in music, riffs are really deppresive and coldness, on total dk classic style, for me darkthrone does not changed in at allwith this album, instead is more... complete, this is classic darkhtrone sound, and for me... one of the best album... yeah... guitars.... classic darkthrone sound sound.... intempestive, profound, dark cold... classic darkthrone sound vocals... the best darkhtrone vocals that i heard lyrics... too great... just enjoy this album... and be one with the darkness!!!!!!!! bye...

Review by: northvisions



Absolutelly great-only one song can shut up your mouts-COMMAND!!!!!!!

Review by: iudicium



going on with my theory....the a blaze in a northern sky recurrence, it' suggested by the similar intro kathaarian life code and weakling avenger share; both a blaze and plague have 6 songs, very long, proceeding by riffs accumulation
NOTHING AMOUNTS TO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
