ALBUM FACTS :
DESCRIPTION :
The new studio album of primitive metal from the norse cavemen!
In a year which marks the 40th anniversary since the initial formation - under the moniker of Black Death - of what would subsequently grow into influential genre legends, 2026 marks the return of the imperishable Norwegian duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto for their new opus of high caliber old metal, under the banner of Pre- Historic Metal. As Fenriz himself proclaims of the title's symbolic origin, "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".
Pre-Historic Metal contains eight tracks of primal epics and gargantuan riffs with organic sound and the ever- present permeating spirit of the 70's and 80's, for a new continuation of the mastery witnessed on 2024's 'It Beckons Us All'. This next chapter in Darkthrone's extensive and ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy and Doom Metal and, adorned with a punishing & "in your face" guitar presence, Darkthrone stirs the cauldron of savage creativity with a nod to the writing methods which were indicative of their earlier works of the late 80's, but with a more refined craft.
Pre-Historic Metal was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work conducted by Ole Ovstedal, Silje Hogevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door, and Maor Appelbaum Mastering.
