Darkthrone have had a May 08th release date scheduled for their 21st studio album, “Pre-Historic Metal“. Early pioneers in the field of black and death metal, the tenured Norse duo have also issued a lyric video for the record’s title track. Drummer/guitarist/vocalist, etc. Fenirz commented: “Prehistoric is a loose term. I just figure it’s our VIBE, our take on things and it’s more a statement that we use old style to create something new.” He continued:
“It means that we are metal. With very loud guitars. ‘Frightfully barbaric but not without finesse’, I call it. We collaborated in the studio more than ever, who’s playing what is still in a purple haze, but last but not least it was a sort of hardening of the arteries – we decided to tighten the tourniquet and do 8 effective songs brimming with riffs instead of the airy plodding we so much enjoy usually.”
