In a year which marks the 40th anniversary since the initial formation - under the moniker of Black Death - of what would subsequently grow into influential genre legends, 2026 marks the return of the legendary Norwegian duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.
Darkthrone’s Pre-Historic Metal contains eight tracks of primal epics and gargantuan riffs featuring an organic sound and the ever-present spirit of the 1970s and 1980s.
This chapter in Darkthrone’s extensive and ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy and Doom Metal all adorned with a punishing “in your face” guitar presence. Nodding to the writing methods indicative of their earlier works of the late 1980s, but with a more refined craft.
“Prehistoric is a loose term. I just figure it’s our VIBE, our take on things and it’s more a statement that we use old style to create something new.” - Fenriz
Recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work by Ole Øvstedal, Silje Høgevold & Mads Luis. Mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door, and Maor Appelbaum Mastering.
