Dark Thrones and Black Flags

Continuing the jarring stylistic pivot initiated on their previous album, the Norwegian black metal legends heavily embrace 1980s speed metal and crust punk. Fenriz and Nocturno Culto trade vocal duties across the record, delivering incredibly raw, punk-infused guitar riffs that honor bands like Motörhead and Venom. The unashamedly fun, retro-metal direction continued to alienate black metal purists while winning over a new generation of fans.
