I just heard some songs of this crap. All sound so forced that makes me laugh, but at the same time it make same angry due to the big amount of pose and shit DT is filled with these days (something which started actually some yeras ago). This album is the perfect example of the roots DT never has had and now pretend to emulate and even praise...
I think you're right with the stuff you say, but still I like it better than before. The only crappy thing is that Fenriz and sometimes even Nocturno Culto try to go places where their voices can't go, and it turns out being a little embarassing. And yes, about half of the songs are filler, and the lyrics suck. They seem not to think very highly of their fans, all this "Professor Fenriz" crap sucks. And yet, I like it more than before.

I liked FOAD but it could've been a bit better too. So how's their latest album Dark Thrones and Black Flags?
And about this whole poser hunt.. I think it's a bit ridiculous. For all I know Fenriz has got into good 80s metal (classics and obscure ones) and acts like a kid who has heard WASP for the first time in his life and I just can't judge him for that. Maybe naming cult bands and praising 80s metal in general isn't the most fruitful starting point when making music but I like the new Darkthrone much more than the hordes of retro-thrash bands with zero memorability.

Apart from "Soulside journey", I never managed to get into DARKTHRONE's music during their "pure" black metal period, and now they have evolved to a mix between raspy SLAUGHTER like riffs and harsh punkish beats, I enjoy them better, because musically it speaks more to me. So I don't care about the debate "sold out/trend" and I just follow what my guts say to me. "Dark thrones and black flags" sounds good to my ears, plus it has a quite personnal sound and feel to it. So no complain from my side.

quoted for fucking truth. fenriz poses hard as hell nowadays.Rick wrote:These guys used to make fun of Manowar and Heavy Metal in general when they were full of themselves amidst the norwegian kids hype. And now they've always been into Manilla Road? Yeah sure. Fuck 'em as far as I'm concerned.
they should have stuck with where they were going on "hate them" and "sardonic wrath"

quoted for truth. I don't always agree with his moves (interview choices, which bands to push, general media behaviour), but he is by no means a poser [fuck that word by the way]. see him at concerts, he supports local bands - it's more like the media and the easily impressed [foreigners] that seem to want to make him some glamour bitch.Dodens Grav wrote:Uh, there's a lyrical reference to Manilla Road on the Total Death album. They're by no means posers. Fenriz has always been very well connected to various scenes.
the more interesting thing is the question why ye olde trve metale cliques don't like him. I heard he had some bad things to say about Heavy Metal in the 90s and I'd be interested what he actually said back then! anyone? links? scans?

Same here. Darkthrone for me= Soulside Journey + the last 3 albums, all of them are masterpieces in my opinion.Nathaniel wrote:Apart from "Soulside journey", I never managed to get into DARKTHRONE's music during their "pure" black metal period, and now they have evolved to a mix between raspy SLAUGHTER like riffs and harsh punkish beats, I enjoy them better, because musically it speaks more to me.
