Darkthrone - The Underground Resistance (Peaceville)
In number 20, we have the newest -as of May 2016- studio album by Norwegian old-school band Darkthrone. Darkthrone, is a very well-known quantity for black metal fans, with very influential albums during the early nineties. In the last decade, Darkthrone have shifted their music tastes from black metal to old-school metal in general. This is also true for this album. It is not a black metal effort; rather it is reminiscent of Bathory in mixing old-school black metal songs with old-school metal songs with an epic undertone present in both. It is an excellent album with a lot of nostalgia and true love for this kind of music by a band that remains uncompromising in their ways. The best tracks of the album for me are "Valkyrie" and the epic finale of "Leave no Cross Unturned" but this is just personal preference and others might find the fast paced "Dead Early" or "Lesser Men" more attractive.
92/100
Below is the epic track Valkyrie!
