Darkthrone

Biography

Darkthrone is a Norwegian band formed in 1986 in Kolbotn, a founding figure of black metal. Initially oriented toward death metal, the duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto shifted in the early 1990s toward a raw, minimalist black metal. The trilogy A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon and Transilvanian Hunger became a cornerstone of the genre. True to its underground spirit, Darkthrone has since explored punk and heavy influences.
