Background information about 'The Wind Of 666 Black Hearts'

Raw, unfiltered, and absolutely devastating – "The Wind Of 666 Black Hearts" captures Darkthrone at their most primal and authentic. This collection of rehearsal recordings from 1991 and 1992 offers a rare glimpse into the Norwegian legends during their most creative and influential period. The album showcases the band in their rawest form, with tracks like "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" and "Under A Funeral Moon" demonstrating the ferocious energy that would define an entire generation of black metal.

These rehearsal sessions reveal the organic development of Darkthrone's sound, from the crushing weight of "Kathaarian Life Code" to the hypnotic darkness of "The Dance Of Eternal Shadows". The production maintains that essential lo-fi atmosphere that made their studio albums so compelling, while offering fresh perspectives on classic compositions. Tracks like "Summer Of The Diabolical Holocaust" and "Crossing The Triangle Of Flames" burn with an intensity that feels both ancient and timeless. This isn't just a collection of demos – it's a historical document of black metal's most crucial evolutionary period.
