Darkthrone - Pre-Historic Metal

 

Genre: Heavy/Doom/Black
Country: Norway
Year: 2026

1. They Found One Of My Graves
2. Pre-Historic Metal
3. Siberian Thaw
4. Deeply Rooted
5. The Dry Wells Of Hell
6. So I Marched To The Sunken Empire
7. Eat Eat Eat Your Pride
8. Eon 4

22nd album by Darkthrone. Faithful to the duo’s “monumentally primitive” approach to metal, the album keeps the dirty, earthy production style that listeners have come to expect. The record sounds harsh, raw as fuck, filthy and very much “palaiolithic”, with clear traces of 1980s heavy metal and doom-heavy riffing.

Genre: Power/Heavy
Country: Spain
Year: 2026

1. 1640 (Intro)

5. Lese Majesty (Corpus De Sang)
6. Through Fire And Blood

8. By The Blood In Our Veins
9. Marching To Victory

2nd album by Whirlwind. The music is speedy and infectious, some with big, sing-along choruses and all feature riffs galore. Elements of speed metal and old German power metal help to hold the interest in this regard and it never feels like they’re dumbing shit down or softening any of their impact for the sake of tunefulness or sentimentality.

It is an album that, despite going a little too soft at times, flows relatively smoothly, with enough variation to keep things interesting, and plenty of hooks to latch onto when the going gets a little rough.
