More about 'Soulside Journey'

Before Darkthrone became the legendary black metal titans we know today, they delivered this crushing death metal masterpiece that stands as one of the most important albums in extreme metal history. "Soulside Journey" showcases the Norwegian duo at their most technically proficient, featuring intricate guitar work, thunderous drumming, and an atmosphere that's both brutal and surprisingly melodic. The production is crisp and powerful, allowing every riff and blast beat to cut through with surgical precision while maintaining that raw underground edge that would later define their black metal classics.

What makes this album truly special is how it captures Darkthrone in transition - you can hear the seeds of their future black metal sound germinating within these death metal compositions. Tracks like "Cromlech" and "Neptune Towers" demonstrate their ability to craft memorable hooks without sacrificing heaviness, while the epic "Sempiternal Sepulchrality" shows their knack for creating haunting atmospheres. This digipak reissue includes a bonus interview that provides fascinating insight into the band's early days and creative process.
