The cult is back with another album... so what is to be expected this time around? The last few albums were awesome pieces of old school punk-infused thrash... But in 2013, DARKTHRONE is pure heavy metal! Everything is simple, riffs, beats, vocal lines... and its magical! The pure 1980's riffage and overall creepyness of the vocals are what makes it work for me. If you loved the "Circle the Wagons" album, You can still find some of it in here but in general its more tightly constructed, the band is at its peak technically. The holy DARKTHRONE is sounding catchier than ever, they have grown a lot as song writers, just check out the killer epic "Valkyrie" to confirm theses lines... This album is a curve ball for me and in my top 3 so far this year!
