DARKTHRONE - It Beckons Us All - New Version [BLACK LP]

Black vinyl.

About the album

"It Beckons Us All" marks another adventurous foray into the realms of Blackened Doom and Heavy Metal for Darkthrone. Renowned for their ability to blend the ominous atmosphere of black metal with the crushing weight of doom, Fenriz and Nocturno Culto return with a sound both familiar and yet refreshingly dynamic. The album opens with "Howling Primitive Colonies," a track that sets the tone with its mid-tempo rhythms and chilling riffs, laying a foundation for the journey ahead. Throughout the album, the duo explores themes of solitude and cosmic vastness, evoking a sense of melancholic grandeur.

In tracks like "Black Dawn Affiliation" and "The Lone Pines Of The Lost Planet," Darkthrone delve into more experimental territories without losing their signature raw edge. These songs are punctuated by NWOBHM-inspired twin guitar leads that add an unexpected but welcome complexity to their minimalist approach. Meanwhile, "Eon 3" challenges listeners with its layered motifs, creating a tapestry of sound that is both haunting and intriguing. The production is deliberately unpolished, adding an authentic touch to the album's bleak soundscape, making it an immersive experience for those who appreciate the darker shades of metal.
