Darkthrone began in the late 80’s as a thrash/death metal act & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands.

Total Death was the sixth album from Norwegian black metal legends, & was originally released in 1996. After recording the previous 2 albums at Fenriz’s Necrohell portable home studio, the band reverted back to a traditional studio set-up for recording; this time it was Ancient Spectre Ruins, with the songs recorded in 2 sessions there in August & October 1995.

The song-writing on Total Death was split equally between the 2 members, Fenriz & Nocturno Culto, with Nocturno supplying lyrics to his own songs, whilst Fenriz gave the honor to notable members of the Norwegian metal scene: Garm from Ulver, Ihsahn from Emperor, Carl-Michael Eide from Aura Noir/Ved Buens Ende & Satyr from Satyricon. The album delivers a classic dose of mid & up-tempo black metal, along with thrash, such as on the track "Blasphemer."

This 30th anniversary pressing of Total Death is presented on colored vinyl, featuring the recent audio master update from Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
