Artist: DARKTHRONE
Album: DARK THRONES & BLACK FLAGS VINYL RE-ISSUE (LP BLACK)

Release date: 2008
EAN/UPS: 801056823717
Media type: LP

Darkthrone's 14th album, a perfect fusion of blackened rock, metal and punk. Dark Thrones And Black Flags is a continuation of the Darkthrone sound, style and uncompromising attitude witnessed on the acclaimed 2007 album F.O.A.D.
 
Dark Thrones And Black Flags is equal parts Fenriz and Nocturno Culto. The duo share song-writing and vocal duties throughout the release (with some surprising results) and further perfect the art of the riff. A deceptive mastery of composition is also evident on possibly their strongest release of recent times, an album of stripped down, dirty metal.
 
Recorded and produced by the band themselves at Necrohell II studios, Norway, Dark Thrones And Black Flags is an exercise in pushing the conventions of the narrow perception of what should make black metal, becoming more timeless and faithful to its spirit than most could ever wish for in the process.
