Darkthrone began life in the late 80 s, experimenting with thrash, death and doom metal before eventually delving into the black metal genre & becoming synonymous with the style as one of the most highly regarded acts. Goatlord was the title of what was to originally be Darkthrone s second album. The style followed very much in the vein of debut, Soulside Journey, with a mid-paced melodic, yet technical, death metal style. After the full completion of the tracks, however, Darkthrone s focus shifted towards black metal and a more primitive style of composition and so the album was shelved, while work commenced on what was to be the Norwegian black metal milestone, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, which incorporated some parts from the Goatlord tracks.
Goatlord: Original contains these cult tracks in their original instrumental form, recorded in the band s rehearsal space (vocals were added in the mid-90 s before an official release came through Moonfog Productions in 1996), with the classic line-up of Gylve ‘Fenris Nagell on drums, Ted Skjellum on lead guitar, Ivar Enger on Rhythm guitar & Dag Nilsen on bass. Taken from Fenriz s original tape source and transferred mastered by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, this is the pinnacle of Darkthrone s more death doom metal-oriented direction before the transition towards black metal infamy. Featuring intricate arrangements, sombre melodies and a truly distinguishable style overall, Goatlord: Original represents a band performing well in advance of its young age.
Goatlord: Original is presented here on vinyl LP with artwork courtesy of renowned artist, Zbigniew Bielak.
