This morning in the Metal Digest office, we’re blasting ‘A Blaze in the Northern Sky’, the seminal 1992 black metal album from the legendary Darkthrone. Through a grim lo-fi production, Darkthrone were one of those bands which pioneered that second wave of black metal sound with its wall of sound approach, blast beats, tremolo picking and demonic howls. So this morning, scare the neighbours, wake them up in style with a real black metal masterpiece.
