Darkthrone

[Demilich]

well, i'm bidding on an ebay auction for the jewel case edition of A Blaze...
so please stay away or die! the person's user name is star_scream0_0


edit: same person has Transylvanian Hunger (probably the jewel also) for like $4 with 2 days left and no bids, if anyone wants. shipping will be $7 +5 for each additional item. decent, overall. i think i'll end up with DT-A Blaze in the Northern Sky and Morgion-Solinari for pretty cheap

 

[M.Lehto]

Notice, that there's also versions with slipcase over the jewelcase, those came out (2001) before the digis.

 

[J.]

i thought i told you already: they are digis

even if they are the digis, at least i have no basis for comparison

 

[J.]

i'm excited about these. i'll be getting DMDS next.

 

[M.Lehto]

yes, but those can barely be found anywhere anymore. my "a blaze" is one of those, and except for the slipcase and the copyright date on the cd, they are identical to the originals (except trans. h. which has "NORSK ARISK BLACK METAL" removed)

Yeah, those not really available anymore, but just to informate people so they don't pay absurd amount of money, if someone says Darkthrone jewelcase.

 

[Demilich]

i need to probably get that sometime too. maybe revisiting the classics in non-mp3 form will re-awaken my interest in this genre

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Don't sweat it, the digis sound just fine.

 

[J.]

i'm not gonna sweat it. i'am excited about getting these. shouldn've gotten em a long time ago. classics before clones, you know.

which other ones other than the unholy trinity are worth owning? how about that death metal album?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

The only weak Darkthrone album, in my opinion, is Plaguewilder. Everything else is a safe bet. Be aware, though, Goatlord is very different from the rest.

Soulside Journey is the death metal one, it's pretty goddamn good!

In my opinion, beyond that, just wait and see what you think of the ones you get. If they inspire that total fanboy reaction of wanting to collect everything the band's ever done, then you think about where to go next.

I find "Ravishing Grimness" to be their weakest. "Plaguewielder" is pretty kool imo, "Sin Origin" is a rockin' track that is not to be missed.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

And "Claws of Time" is beautiful...

In fact, I've never had any difficulties listening through the whole album in one sitting, and enjoying it to some extent each time.

And compared to scores of other black metal albums out there, "Plaguewielder" is pretty good, but not compared to Darkthrone's other albums.

 

[Papa Josh]

They all rule.

That is all.

 

[J.]

so this darkthrone band is pretty damn good. blaze in the northern sky should be considered a milestone or something

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

lollerz for irony

 

[Nate The Great]

Fuck! I keep hearing about these guys.

 

[J.]

the only thing i dislike is that the keyboards drown everything else.

 

[Erik]

transilvanian hunger

get it

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Cool sig, they had one of the best old-school logos...

The children's choir gets on my nerves.
