Darkthrone’s classic fifth album Panzerfaust will be reissued as a limited 30th anniversary vinyl edition including a newly restored audio master. The reissue is presented on splatter vinyl and is coming May 16.
Panzerfaust was originally released in 1995 on the Norwegian label, Moonfog (the label previously owned by Satyr of Satyricon). The album was recorded similarly to their previous release, Transilvanian Hunger, in that it was written and recorded solely by Fenriz at his home Necrohell studio, with Nocturno Culto later adding vocals.
The album was largely inspired by the works of Celtic Frost, a longtime favourite of the Darkthrone members, and also included songs in the Bathory style, a follow-on to the faster tempo of the tracks featured on Transilvanian Hunger.
Panzerfaust is also notable for including some of the most raw and primal vocals in black metal – completely well suited to the music on display and the misanthropic nature of the band at the time. With its feast of Frost-fuelled riffing, ‘Panzerfaust’ is rightly hailed one of THE classic Darkthrone black metal albums, whilst also featuring lyrics written by Varg Vikernes.
