well two of the least valid opinions here(buttface and yoderp) don't mean much, so yeah.
Anyway, do some of you guys really not know what crust is? The punk in their sound IS crusty. That's what will naturally happen when a former black metal band tries to go 80's punk/heavymetal. And i just posted a lquote of the guy saying it himself, what more do you twats want? The band themselves say there's a crustiness to their sound, the legions of fans hear it, but you three dont?

bravo
Oh and i hate to break it to you guys (who clearly seem to know what you're talking about), but punk+extreme metal = crust. That is the most basic definition of that genre.
Their style of punk is a the dirty, rotten, filthy, crusty kind. And what do you mean examples? Most of their last few albums minus
UR have the typical dirty, crusty punk riffage and there are d-beats scattered all throughout those records. I dont now how the fuck you guys dont hear it, but its okay. Not my problem.
But here maybe this will help some of you. Crust punk was originally punk that was influenced by metal bands like Celtic Frost, Hellhamer, Venom, Motorhead etc. And that same type of influence is clear in newer Darkthrone, as they themselves have stated numerous times. But yeah, whatever. Goodnight.
