Darkthrone - Astral Fortress (28th Oct)

Fuck I just looked at the cover. Wow

[OpenSores]

Yeah the cover is well... all downhill.

[Necr0rceN]

Zero effort on the cover alright, like they were just walking and someone took a photo and Peaceville asked them for a cover and fenriz searched his phone and found that and just added a B&W filter. Lazy.

Take another look at it. And focus on the feet

Ah fuck I didn't think it could get funnier.  I sort of like it all the same, but also have a feeling it's not actually the art at all and we won't see it until it's released.

They're friggin figure skates by the looks of it! Not even ice hockey skates - the big sissy

[Trev]

I like the cover, beats the usual throwaway forest or mountain shot

[Circlepit]

So they have released a track and video in advance .
More of the same.

[Eoin McLove]

Sounds pretty good to me. A little repetitive perhaps but some cool riffs overall. I like the video. I see people crying about it being formatted for Tik Tok. How would they know that unless they use Tik Tok??? I wouldn't have had a fucking breeze.

[keeper of kalessin]

Just seems like Fenriz just filmed walking in the forest on his phone... id say he doesnt have a clue what Tik Tok is 

[Eoin McLove]

Or maybe a GoPro.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

[open face surgery]

Ya, I thought the song was sound. Not groundbreaking but not shite. Will check out the album.

[CorkonianHunger]

Gave it another listen. Definitely monotonous but the riffs are cool. I've heard worse from them. Will wait and see what the album is like, probably be a slow burn like the last few.

[Born of Fire]

Eternal Hails did nothing at all for me so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this song. Yeah it's nothing new but it has a certain hypnotic magic to it all the same.
