MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE RELEASE, DARKTHRONE’S 1993 PURE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL MASTERPIECE, NOW ON SPECIAL LIMITED MARBLE VINYL.
Darkthrone began life in the late 80’s as a thrash/death metal act & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands, as they continue as strong as ever to this day.
‘Under A Funeral Moon’, Darkthrone’s third album, was originally released by Peaceville in 1993. The album is a bleak reflection of contemporary times, featuring harsh guitar riffage & hateful vocals in what was the band’s first 100% pure black metal opus; a work completely stripped of the death metal traces of former releases & in its place, a stark & primitive execution. This was aided by an intentionally lo-fi sound that is powerfully cold & entirely unconcerned with any modern-day aesthetics. ‘Under A Funeral Moon’ is the album that many Darkthrone fans hail as the ultimate manifesto for Black Metal.
Marking 30 years since its original release, this edition of ’Under A Funeral Moon’ is presented on special limited marbled vinyl, featuring its original sleeve artwork & layout & audio master in line with the original 1993 edition.
