Four decades after the band\u2019s creation, Darkthrone<\/a> are releasing a new album on May 8 titled Pre-Historic Metal. Yes, Fenriz and Nocturno Culto are back with a new slab of eight songs to get your black metal fix. This news comes shortly after the release of their boxset The Fist in the Face of God.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the new album, Fenriz explained what the forthcoming album represents:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt means that we are metal. With very loud guitars. \u2018Frightfully barbaric but not without finesse\u2019, I call it. We collaborated in the studio more than ever, who\u2019s playing what is still in a purple haze, but last but not least it was a sort of hardening of the arteries \u2013 we decided to tighten the tourniquet and do eight effective songs brimming with riffs instead of the airy plodding we so much enjoy usually.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new album was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios in Oslo, with production work conducted by Ole \u00d8vstedal, Silje H\u00f8gevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door, and Maor Appelbaum Mastering.<\/p>\n
