Darkthrone announce new LP ‘Pre-Historic Metal,’ share title track

Norwegian black metal legends Darkthrone have announced their 21st LP, Pre-Historic Metal, due out on May 8 via Peaceville. Fenriz calls Pre-Historic “a loose term,” saying, ” 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 adds, “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.”

They’ve shared the title track, and you can watch the video, created by Matthew Vickerstaff, below.
