GMD Poll: Darkthrone's Discography Ranked

[TechnicalBarbarity]

As long as we agree that Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk isn't even in the discussion for top Norwegian albums since it's pretentious and unfocused garbage.

Crimmy ...

A Blaze in the Northern Sky > Under a Funeral Moon

By far. Goatlord and A Blaze are the only two Darkthrone albums I really enjoy tbh.

Your list seems fine if we kick Hvis Lyset Tar Oss off and add Pure Holocaust in its place.

as much as i love PH hell no, there are levels to this game

 

[Omni]

Which level of the game has "Tomhet" as a soundtrack? It sounds like video game music.

Tomhet is the best track on HLTO

 

[Phylactery]

Tomhet is great, but better than the first 2 tracks?! Madness.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Inn i slottet fra droemmen is literally the only good song on the album.

 

[Phylactery]

Bad opinion. It’s esily the worst one. The second half is really good, but the first half I find to be too repetitive. It’s like a two note riff repeated forever with none of the subtle changes that make the second track so amazing.

 

[CiG]

Pleb move.

I stand by my rankings even more now that I know you disapprove.

Also:

B-:
1. The Outer Limits

C:
2. Rat Angel

Pleb move.

 

[Vilden]

Stop with those weird opinions plz. PH > HLTO, in what world is that?

It's the only metal Burzum song that can be called legitimately minimalistic without completely raping what that word means, or at least relative to its time and to what anyone else was doing back then. It also retains a nice level of aggression. The other two songs are just overlong pedestrian rock music with forced bombast, black metal Manilla Road basically.

I'm one of the least edgy people on this forum brah

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't know what edgy means

brah

Det som en gang var, with some different riffing techniques, would not be out of place on a Manilla Road, Manowar, or Bathory album. It's 14 minutes long and does almost nothing with all that time. The sheer laboriousness of the song is probably the most interesting thing about it, the idea that someone would write such a boring overlong song and that with shit production people would call it a new form of "atmospheric" metal.

"It is commonly used as an insult on 4chan and Tumblr for someone attempting to be badass by acting emo or overly contrarian."

basically accurate tbf

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Pretty much anyone that enjoys underground metal, particularly at the expense of radio-friendly music, is a contrarian. Don't think you're any different.

In the context of Phylactery's post, I'm pretty much objectively correct. Even if you prefer Det som real shit to Inn i gadda da vida, the former is clearly the more repetitious song rooted in traditional rock/metal values, the latter is like black metal krautrock or something and only more repetitive if you focus on individual riffs rather than the big picture.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Pretty much anyone that enjoys underground metal, particularly at the expense of radio-friendly music, is in-crowd. Don't think you're any different.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Do you really think that not enjoying Burzum is more edgy than not enjoying, say, Avenged Sevenfold (just throwing a name out there, no idea of your opinion on the band)? The in-crowd makes a career out of suppressing radio-friendly metal for the promotion of music that is notoriously difficult for those not used to it.

 

[CiG]

Suppressing?
