The new Darkthrone album is excellent. Listened to it through four or five times now and i love it.
The production is top notch with the guitars razor sharp and the drums booming in almost a Satyricon mixed with Black Sabbath style. There's so much going on under the main riffs too with instruments such as melotrons and synths.
The pacing is mid in general which makes the faster parts all the more exciting, the same goes for the galloping riffs which punctuate the album. However i'm not actually sure this is a Black Metal album as such, but it is a Darkthrone album and in my view one of their best.
