:: Darkthrone began 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. ::
:: ::
:: "A Blaze In The Northern Sky", Darkthrone's second album, ::
:: was originally released in 1992 and was without question ::
:: the blueprint release for the Black Metal scene, ::
:: spearheading the evolution of the early second wave ::
:: movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an ::
:: album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their ::
:: more death metal centred debut, "Soulside Journey". ::
:: ::
:: The album saw a whole new blacker than black Darkthrone, ::
:: new names, new cold & stripped down sound and highly visual ::
:: black and white artwork. Fenriz claimed at the time 'This ::
:: is the new Darkthrone, the old Darkthrone is dead'. So ::
:: great was the hunger and need for Darkthrone that it meant ::
:: absolutely nothing to critics and fans alike that the band ::
:: hardly ventured out to play live. On the contrary, this ::
:: only added to the mystique of the band, and saw them, in ::
:: the eyes of the fans as very much 'keeping it real' with ::
:: their completely uncompromising approach. ::
:: ::
:: This special edition of "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" marks ::
:: 20 years since the album's original release, & contains an ::
:: additional CD featuring Fenriz talking about his memories & ::
:: recollections of the album's construction as the music ::
:: plays in the background. This edition is also presented in ::
:: digibook format with extra liner notes from Fenriz & ::
:: Nocturno Culto, plus rare & previously unseen images. Also ::
:: contains video interview with Nocturno & Fenriz from 2003. ::
:: ::
:: Repack notes: oops, switched CD1 and CD2 around. ::
