Review by Sonny for Darkthrone - Arctic Thunder (2016)

Ted & Gylve's best album for quite some time harkens back to the first wave  and the blackened metal sound of Hellhammer and Bathory. Yet, despite the retro-black aesthetic, the album still sounds vital and relevant these 30 years later. Darkthrone are one of the most important and respected black metal bands because they stayed true to themselves and never put out albums just to please others. The fact that so many people still give a shit what they're doing attests to that and more power to them.
