Synopsis
Album Description This album was thought by many, at the time, to be the last Darkthrone would ever produce. Not so. As it stands, this is an exhaustive foray even further into the primitive black metal chaos that they had been exploring over the past five albums, and is actually considered by many to be their greatest work. As it stands, this is like a survey of the influences of the years that had come before, from Bathory to Celtic Frost, Hellhammer to Thorns and Mayhem. Excellent, well-defined, exquisitely engineered paens to blasphemy and the call of the dark, with lyrics written by some of the most notable musicians in the Norwegian scene, including Garm, Ihsahn, etc. Features members from Satyricon, Storm & Isengard.

CD ReviewsTrue Unholy Black Metal A. Jardine | Washington, PA United States | 12/05/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Darkthrone's sixth album, Total Death, is my personal favorite of all their albums. The production is a bit higher vs other releases, and it shows. Nocturno Culto's insane riffs and frightening chants on the first 3 songs is beyond comparison. the sixth song is faster than any song Ive ever heard. Fenriz is going bonkers on the drums and his Satanic poetry is also beyond comparison. OVerall, I would give this album 6 or 7 stars!!!!"
