Darkthrone - Panzerfaust - DCD

DOUBLE-DISC 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF DARKTHRONE'S CLASSIC FIFTH ALBUM OF CELTIC FROSTFUELLED BLACK METAL,

INCLUDING NEWLY RESTORED AUDIO MASTER, PLUS ADDITIONAL DISC WITH COMMENTARY FROM FENRIZ.

'Panzerfaust', Darkthrone's fifth album was originally released in 1995 on the Norwegian label, Moonfog (the label previously owned by Satyr of Satyricon). The album was recorded similarly to their previous release, 'Transilvanian Hunger', in that it was written & recorded solely by Fenriz at his home 'Necrohell' studio, with Nocturno Culto later adding vocals.

'Panzerfaust' was largely inspired by the works of Celtic Frost, a long-time favourite of the Darkthrone members & also included songs in the Bathory style, a follow-on to the faster tempo of the tracks featured on 'Transilvanian Hunger'. 'Panzerfaust' is also notable for including some of the most raw & primal vocals in black metal - completely well suited to the music on display & the misanthropic nature of the band at the time. With its feast of Frost-fuelled riffing, 'Panzerfaust' is rightly hailed one of THE classic Darkthrone black metal albums, whilst also featuring lyrics written by Varg Vikernes.

This edition of 'Panzerfaust' is presented on double-disc CD format & includes a newly restored audio master for the album's 30th anniversary, plus the 2010 commentary disc from Fenriz with his recollections on the tracks & the time period.
