First, lets just get this out of the way; Darkthrone is hands down one of my favorite bands of all time. No question! They are true artists, constantly evolving and making consistently amazing music that spands so many genres, its dizzying. Like any other self respecting fellow, I love "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" "The Cult Is Alive," and "Transylvanian Hunger," but this old '88 demo of theres is something I had never heard of until recently. I think it just may be better, in two songs, then any of those albums combined!
Consisting of one 40 second long ambient intro and one 9 minute killer of a song, this is a short and sweet showcase of why I love this band. Guitar heroics and pointless widdling are negated! No, what you have here is raw, driving black metal with death and crust influences. Catchy riffs, d-beats, straight up fucking metal. You think Darkthrone just up and switched to crust punk with FOAD? Think again when you hear this demo! Its killer, one of my favorite recent listens, and definatly worth a place in your library!
1. "Intro - Twilight Dimension"
