"The old school never gets old"
Fenriz
Im Jahr ihres 40-jährigen Jubiläums – damals noch unter dem Namen Black Death – kehren die unvergänglichen norwegischen Duo- und Genre-Legenden Fenriz und Nocturno Culto 2026 mit ihrem neuen Studioalbum "Pre-Historic Metal" zurück, das am 8. Mai bei Peaceville Records erscheint.
Nach dem kürzlich erschienenen Boxset "The Fist in the Face of God" (Platz neun in den offiziellen deutschen Rock/Metal Charts), das die gefeierte frühe Black-Metal-Phase der Band dokumentiert, ist es nun an der Zeit, dass die norwegischen Riff-Meister ihre Höhlen erneut verlassen, um unter dem Titel "Pre-Historic Metal" ihr neues Opus hochkarätigen Old-Metal zu präsentieren.
Fenriz selbst erklärt den symbolischen Ursprung des Titels: "Prehistoric ist ein dehnbarer Begriff. Ich denke einfach, es beschreibt unsere Stimmung, unsere Herangehensweise, und es ist im Grunde ein Statement dafür, dass wir alte Stile nutzen, um etwas Neues zu erschaffen."
A continuation of 2024’s stellar ‘It Beckons Us All’, ‘Pre-Historic Metal’ is a ferocious slab of primal epics & gargantuan riffs with organic sound, graced with the ever-present permeating spirit of the 70s and 80s. This next chapter in Darkthrone’s unyielding saga presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy and Doom Metal and, adorned with a punishing and “in your face” guitar presence, Darkthrone stirs the cauldron of savage creativity with a nod to the writing methods which were indicative of their earlier works of the late 80s, but with a more refined craft.
Summarising what the album represents, Fenriz explains: “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”.
'Pre-Historic Metal' was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work conducted by Ole Øvstedal, Silje Høgevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door, and Maor Appelbaum Mastering.
