PRESENTED ON LIMITED BLACK & WHITE SPLATTER VINYL.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 & Nocturno Culto for their new opus of high calibre 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 & it's more a statement that we use old style to create something new". 'Pre-Historic Metal' contains eight tracks of primal epics & gargantuan riffs with organic sound & the ever-present permeating spirit of the 70s & 80s, for a new continuation of the mastery witnessed on 2024's 'It Beckons Us All'. This next chapter in Darkthrone's extensive & ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy & Doom Metal &, 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 80s, 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, & Maor Appelbaum Mastering. This edition of 'Pre-Historic Metal' is presented on limited black & white splatter vinyl.
