Darkthrone, the iconic duo that forged a sound transcending time, emerged in 1986 as enigmatic pioneers of suspense and mystery. Their creative reservoir birthed a musical legacy, propelling them to the forefront of Norway's musical exports.
The cryptic duo, Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, continue their journey with the upcoming release of It Beckons Us All on Peaceville, slated for April 26, 2024.

Their latest opus delves deep into the world's intricacies, challenging listeners with an intense sonic exploration. Through blistering riffs that traverse icy landscapes and volcanic eruptions, and Nocturno's demonic vocals echoing from distant galaxies, Darkthrone's music remains a vivid visual experience, painting tangible imagery through the medium of sound.
Culto shared the following:
We recorded in the manner we always do, live, meaning drums and guitar, with another guitar added later. We found a new twist during this process that surely benefited this album. Fenriz did stellar clean vocals on several songs, and his way of thinking creatively made it so good. We also shared the bass work this time around. We added a lot of extra layers like solo guitars… it was just a cauldron of ideas. Instead of finding a plug-in or choir synth patch, we both recorded four vocal tracks each. Darkthrone is an ever-evolving band, as many should know by now, and this album is touching a bit into the heavy genre. I have no idea what genre we are, and have really not cared much about it, but I know for sure it's metal.
Fenriz added:
I am having difficulties putting into words my personal feelings around the existential title It Beckons Us All, I can only hope others out there can feel the darkness that encompasses it.
