Darkthrone is a black metal band from Kolbotn, Norway. It formed in 1986 as a death metal band under the name Black Death.[3][4] In 1991, the band embraced a black metal style influenced by Bathory[5] and Celtic Frost[5] and became one of the leading bands in the Norwegian black metal scene.

Their first three black metal albums—A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon and Transilvanian Hunger (sometimes dubbed the "Unholy Trinity")[6][7] — are considered the peak of the band's career[8] and to be among the most influential albums in the genre. For most of this time, Darkthrone has been a duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto ever since the guitarist Zephyrous left the band in 1993. The band have sought to remain outside the music mainstream.[9] Since 2006, their work has strayed from the traditional black metal style and incorporated more elements of traditional heavy metal and speed metal, being likened to Motörhead.[9]

"As many have focused on the '70s sound over the last 20 years, the mix on our new album has ended up being more '80s than ever. The songs are more metal than ever! Ted's songs have alot of black metal in them, faster and slower but also doomier parts and reocurring parts. My songs are more linear written. It's an ancient '80s underground trick, with breaks, all slow heavy or slow thrash, classic doom or slow death."

He continues, "All in all, it is our most '80s album so far and our most metal one to date with drum sound typical for the '80s USA/German market and damned lyrics, which are all written by me. We feel that 'Old Star' is the big brother of 'Arctic Thunder'. More solid and with even better riffs."

"Old Star" was recorded at the band's Necrohell 2 Studios, with engineering and production duties carried out by vocalist/guitarist Nocturno Culto, complemented with a perfectly organic mix courtesy of Sanford Parker (VOIVOD) at Hypercube Studios and mastered once more by Jack Control at Enormous Door. The stellar cover artistry comes courtesy of Chadwick St John, titled "The Shepherd of the Deep."

Over the course of 30 years, DARKTHRONE has become a staple of the global black metal genre, forging a legacy as one of the most renowned and influential bands in its illustrious and often infamous history. In the formative years following its 1987 inception, DARKTHRONE started with a strong concoction of thrash and then death/doom metal experimentation, with broader musical influences spanning from the '60s to the '80s, before the debut album, "Soulside Journey", was unleashed in 1991. Never ones to follow convention or stand still even then, the band soon embraced a much darker, more primitive form of expression with the now iconic second album, "A Blaze In The Northern Sky", the rest became history.

Darkthrone have just announced their 17th studio album, Old Star. The band’s first record since 2016’s Arctic Thunder will see a May 31 release date via Peaceville Records.
Though only six tracks long, Darkthrone’s 2019 album promises an extreme dedication to the power of the riff. The genre-flipping Norwegian band plan to give fans a mix of old school heavy and extreme metal, plus doom-laden riffing and underground grime.
