Fenriz of Darkthrone Announces Trivia Contest

Band Photo: Darkthrone (?)

Darkthrone's very own Fenriz has just announced a trivia competition on MySpace that involves the history of Darkthrone. The prize is a copy of Fenriz' Metal Merchants DJ set. The trivia question is the following: what are the similarities between Darkthrone's earlier musical career (he said "carrier," but one can only assume he meant "career") and that of James Brown or Status Quo? To answer, go to Fenriz' blog post and post your answer. Fenriz will contact the first two people that answer the question correctly. He will also ask for your address in order to deliver the set.

What's Next?

I once asked him about gothic kids and decided to answer me with a soccer refrence so who knows. The man is very weird

Jsin, you maybe able to answer this one: How did Darkthrone end up on the NSBM site? Did I miss a connection they have with NSBM, or did the site put them up there without consent?

I am relieved that I did not miss something big! I am pretty on top of it with black metal, and do check the nsbm site every now and again to keep an eye out for new bands not to buy from.

I am glad this matter will be dealt with. I love Darkthrone, and would hate to have them attached to anything that they would not want to be attached to such as the nsbm site. Thank you, Jsin!

Under a funeral moon? Thats odd He may have said something back in the day about jews.. Like I said earlier..But that album is from 1993 when all that crazyness was happening..Not to mention "Euronomous" was still alive wich means that "euro" had something to do with that album

But Euro wasn't really attached to NSBM. Saying you don't like Jews is fine, doesn't mean you are a Nazi.

Euro spent alot of time pissing people off. He wasent a nazi he was a clever man knowing any press about your band is good press..

So, the NSBM site posted Under a funeral moon over that? How very presumptious! I do not like Jew's (with the exception of only two) but I would be angry if the NSBM webmaster put me on his site.

Ah... that I did not see. Perhaps my phone skiped over it? I put this thing to massive work 7 days a week. If it is simply that NSBM bands are influanced by Darkthrone, and Darkthrone are NOT NSBM, I am happy.

I have heard stories of Euro shooting riffels off while Dead tried to sleep. I heard Dead did not like that, and it angered him. Though, yes. Dead was a bit nucking futs. He is one of the very few that I do not blame for comiting suicide.

By the way you may see "Norsk Arisk Black Metal" on many early black metal albums all this ment was they wanted their bands to remain Norwegian. They dident want swedish, amercian or anyone else in there projects. It dident mean they were nazis even though it translates to norwegian aryan black metal.
