Under A Funeral Moon [2CD]

Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon [2CD]

Darkthrone began life in the late 80's as a thrash/death metal act & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands, as they continue as strong as ever to this day.

'Under A Funeral Moon', Darkthrone's third album, was originally released by Peaceville in 1993. The album is a bleak reflection of contemporary times, featuring harsh guitar riffage & hateful vocals in what was the band's first 100% pure black metal opus; a work completely stripped of the death metal traces of former releases & in its place, a stark & primitive execution. This was aided by an intentionally lo-fi sound that is powerfully cold & entirely unconcerned with any modern-day aesthetics. 'Under A Funeral Moon' is the album that many Darkthrone fans hail as the ultimate manifesto for Black Metal.

This edition of 'Under A Funeral Moon' is presented on double-disc CD format & includes an audio master created for the album's 30th anniversary in line with the original 1993 version, plus the 2013 commentary disc from Fenriz with his recollections on the tracks & the time period.
