Darkthrone Premiere Title Track To Their New Album "Pre-Historic Metal"

Darkthrone have set a May 8th release date for their 21st studio album, “Pre-Historic Metal.” The long-running pioneers of black and death metal have also shared a lyric video for the album’s title track, both of which now available for streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you below.

Drummer/guitarist/vocalist Fenriz explained, “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.” 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.”
