Choose wisely.

UaFM

com'mon rev, you gotta rock the vote, dude.

Cheetos fingers were pretty good too Josh.

Those should probably be on the list somewhere.

YOUR MOM WAS PRETTY GOOD TOO NICCOLAI.

IT'S ON MY LIST!

She was okay...

I mean, nothing to write home about.

I was on my phone.

I was actually listening to that CD when I read this.

Soulside Journey.

darkthrone should give it up. They are a waste of talent. Transilvanian hunger was their last good album. Why do u ppl like this shitty band. They have piss poor production and all their albums sound exactly alike

Easily Soulside Journey.

havent heard all of them but under a funeral moon is my fav!

I'm surprised so many people voted for Soulside Journey.

Blaze

a blaze is probably my favorite of "black metal" era darkthrone, HOWEVER if the goatlord material had actually had a proper recording i feel like it would be my all time favorite, those songs are just so fucking good, anyhow i voted for goatloard because i knew noone elese would

Darkthrone made many good albums before and after Transilvanian Hunger, and they are all quite different.
As far as the production....I can't stress enough how important the production aspect is to black metal music. So many people fail to understand that the recording isn't "poor" because these guys are just too fucking stupid to make it sound any better - it's recorded like that on purpose; there's a reason for it. It contributes immensely to the overall mood and atmosphere of the music. A polished and crystal clear sound would ruin it.
They're not a waste of talent either. You're approaching this music the wrong way, you're probably expecting epic symphonies and dazzling technical wizardry because more famous "black metal" bands play like that. I'm not going to bother going further into why Darkthrone sound the way they do, I've rambled enough.


As far as the vote, I've got it narrowed down to either Soulside Journey, Goatlord, Transilvanian Hunger or Panzerfaust.
But this is still fucking impossible - Darkthrone are my favorite black metal band, and one of my top favorite bands ever. I can't pick just one.

I voted Transilvanian Hunger.

not darkthrone, but the ultimate album ever might be arcturus "aspera hiems symfonia"

So many of them are perfect that I simply can't choose one.

Transilvanian Hunger

I have only heard 2 of their CD's, The one I enjoyed more was Soulside Journey.

i dont really think Darkthrone has a discography you could label as "best to worst", they just continuously write awesome material. each album has its own feel and sound, and they are all well written. they went through so many stages of sound that you could have a best of for each style. my personal favorites are A Blaze in the Northern Sky and Ravishing Grimness, but those 2 are so far apart in sound its hard to compare. you certainly cant compare Soulside Journey with something like Total Death either. i guess all in all the point is that Darkthrone are the almighty, fuck you if you think otherwise.

Damn skippy.

i like all songs with the words fuck and fuckers in them

and fucking

Transilvanian Hunger

sardonic wrath is great to drive around in the hate tank to and combat yuppies in bmw's.. very hateful. black metal is about hate. just like true punk rock. remember kids hate is more pure than love.

Goatlord

No one does female vocals quite like Fenriz.
