About Darkthrone
Of all the major second-wave black metal bands to emerge from Norway's fertile breeding grounds during the early 1990s, only a handful -- Mayhem, Emperor, Enslaved, Ulver -- have achieved the same exalted status and international recognition as Darkthrone. Unlike most of their peers, Darkthrone largely refused to deviate from their straightforward and savage black metal formula once it was established, leaving it to others to evolve the genre into eclectic directions. Dubbed the "unholy trinity," the band's first three black metal albums, A Blaze in the Northern Sky (1992), Under a Funeral Moon (1993), and Transilvanian Hunger (1994) are considered classics of the genre. Prolific and unrelenting well into the 21st century, Darkthrone's legacy as black metal's most reliable driving force remains uncontested.
