Darkthrone – Total Death (1996)

April 13, 2023

Total Death is one of those “middle period” albums from Darkthrone that I have always historically overlooked. However, this has always been a pretty silly thing to do, as it is a fairly decent slab of black metal. It’s not too different from the earlier stuff, but not as raw or uncompromising. The major difference here is that the songs are written by vocalist Nocturnal Culto or guest writers from the wider musical world, rather than Fenriz.
