Darkthrone have never disappointed me and I think this album is one of their best. Blackened doom with a Celtic Frost vibe. It’s funny to me how some fans complain about newer Darkthrone albums not being “black metal enough”. Gotta remember how first wave black metal was everything from Venom to Mercyful Fate. Dare I say... VARIETY!
Agreeeeeeeeeed!
Well said Uriah.
That “fenriz’s cat” joke was A+. So niche and impossible to force anywhere but this review lol. Love it
I am 100% sure it's a positive review even before watching
Kristian Krastanov haha totally me too.
If you like listening to people do what they like because they like doing it, you can't go wrong with any Darkthrone album.
Celtic Frost wannabe
Took years to learn this. But absolute truth.
@@theloner6063 they played simple. It's why they didn't stand out. There's a balance between simplicity and technicality
Circle The Wagons is indeed a very underrated record
yeah it's great
Yeah, my favourite of latter day Darkthrone. "I Am The Graves Of The 80's"!
Classic
Yes thank you Blayne for recognizing legends
YES! Circle the Wagons *IS* criminally underrated. I love all their metalpunk shit.
D-beat riffs and drums really fits well together with black metal. It shouldn't come as a surprise since there were quite a lot of Crust punkers with black metal patches on their jeans vests even 20 years ago.
This comment was actually my way into BM when i read it last year! I've never been able to get into it, but I love metal with punk elements so decided to check out the album. And now I love BM, so thank you! I don't have to be ashamed of being a norwegian metal head who don't listen to BM anymore, lol.
"Circle the Wagons" is one of my favorite records from that part of the 2000s. Awesome to see it get a shout out.
Great review. Also im loving the silly vocal effects so thumbs up for the editing dude
Whatever dude! Lol
Cheers for repping the Hellripper shirt Blayne! :D
The box that was sent to you all looks like a Dybbuk box! Great review. Always love the tidbits you add in the reviews of the band or artist. Always love finding out new things about them,that I am a fan of. Awesome job Blayne as usual!! 🤘💀🤘
Besides the music of DARKTHRONE, I also like the fact that they are true Metal! Fenriz is a veteran of the underground scene and has introduced many fans out there to great underground bands such as SADISTIC INTENT, EM RUINAS, NEKROMANTHEON, etc.. Can't wait to get my new Darkthrone album!!!!
true metal doesnt mean underground..
Nice one! Another great review of this legendary band. That Svartan promo was super-cool too!!
The main riff of The Hardships Of Scots is the exact same riff from AC/DC’s Let Me Put My Love Into You. The difference in this situation is that after the open E string, they paw muted it 3 strokes and then after hitting the A chord they play the chord 3 times. By doing that they give it a much heavier sound by still keeping that blues riff intact.
That's SUPER interesting! Totally makes sense with what I was feeling out of the song. Thanks for the comment dude!
Blatant rip-off actually. Also this ua-cam.com/video/p2dT4j-36hE/v-deo.html :D
You're awesome Blane! Darkthrone are legends!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Peter Brown yes they are. So influential.
This album is so good.
Nice review! Really digging it myself. Duke of Gloat, Old Star and Hardship of the Scots my fav tracks.
This album is so damn good, simple riffs but so effective!
I'm totally loving the new darkthrone record! Cool review and nice hellripper tee ;) \m/
Rob Cheshire yes! It is sick.
6:24 definitely put on Transilvanian Hunger while hungover and what a mistake that was...
This album is still great overall. Love Darkthrone, cheers from Brazil!!
I am loving this album, that riff is just mind blowing 💖
This record is kinda full of riff salad, but the riffs are fucking awesome so it works out.
Billy Trespassers haha I agree
That's because it's a Darkthrone record. They've always been riff focused, it's just how they right their music. My definition of riff salad is more like those really silly death metal bands that are trying much too hard, and change riff quicker than their underpants (which probably explains why they all stink).
If they wanted to write music that all ties in well together, they would probably have to improve the production quality, change the bass drum sound, increase the volume and compress the fuck out of it.
Everyone should grab the Hellripper 12 minutes 'Black Arts & Alchemy'
Drowned In Black everyone should just buy their discography. All their shit fucking rips.
Drowned In Black yes! I grabbed one, limited edition vinyl already all sold out
Hey, 40k, BMX and a Darkthrone, three of my favourite things. Great review.
this was a really well done review 👍🏼
nice video guys love it
One of my favorite metal albums of the year. Very pleasant experience.
STRONG release for Darkthrone. So many incredible riffs throughout these songs.
I honestly think this is in my top 5 for Darkthrone. It definitely piqued my attention several times. I've already said this, but I'll say it again, the back half of the album is the strong half for me. I was super stoked for a new record when I liked Hardship of the Scots as much as I did, but that ended up being my least favorite. (not that I don't love it, it's a fuckin banger for sure).
But yeah, fuckin loved this record. So stoked when bands I love put out new music I love. Especially when those bands members seem like rad dudes.
Great album and review.
Great review Blayne. You damn well better do batushka !!!!
the riffs and tones on this lp are amazing!
"A Darkthrone record for every season..." and that's exactly how I love me some Darkthrone! Great review Blayne, I definitely think this album is a step up from Arctic Thunder - which is also pretty great.
Darkthrone’s got riffs for days! Years! Hell even riffs for decades at this point! Still kicking ass.
You're right about Circle The Wagons. It's one of their best and hugely underrated.
For me is one of the 5 best
From the songs I'd heard prior to this release, I already knew I was gonna love it. It's fuckin excellent.
I like the Hellripper shirt man! 🤘🏻
The audio's a bit uncentred, but otherwise, great review as always, Blayne!
Darkthrone is one of the bands that evolves and transforms into new things every album or so. Old Star is quite different from everyone’s original favorite Darkthrone album...
The day “The Hardship of the Scots” came out on UA-cam I knew I had to learn it. Upon learning, I decided to transcribe tabs for it. I made a cover with tabs in the video and available for download in the description on my channel. Hahaha ok enough self promo.
This whole album is sick. Doomthrone!
Sick Hellripper shirt, Blayne🤘
Thanks bud!
spot on review
Always cool to see some love for Circle the Wagons. One of my fave DT-albums. Like Arctic Thunder, this one's been a bit of slow-digested album for me. When I first heard Hardship of the Scots, my reaction was more or less *meh, it was okay.* The more I listen to it however, the more I enjoy it. This is in sharp contrast to The Underground Resistance (and indeed Circle the Wagons,) which were complete home-runs from the first damn second I listened to them (TUGR is actually probably my favourite album from them nowadays full stop.)
Just to clarify, a slowly digested album doesn't mean that it's somehow inferior. Blasphemy's Fallen Angel of Doom and Mayhem's De Mysteriis dom Sathanas both took a while for me to 'get', and they're among my most beloved albums.
a blayne in the northern sky
Amazing album, bought the physical copy today
Darkthrone is one of those bands where you have albums of theirs that you really enjoy, and a few that you're not so crazy about. I really enjoy this one. The riffs and guitar tones are just so cool.
I already hang out with you on Twitch. (He fucks up in games a lot, that's the real funny part and a reason to watch)
Great Album🤘🏼
Oh hello new vinyl!!🤘
Oh shit they did review it
Great album, great review, but lets cut to the real heart of the matter: that Hooded Menace hat is *badass*.
Great review, sold on this album
Thank you for wearing that shirt. Allowed me to discover a SICK band
This record is fucking outstanding and will definitely be in my top 5 of the year. The riff at the end of Duke of Gloat is just a damn neck breaker!
I say this EVERYTIME Blayne does the review, but fuckin' hell, do I love me some Blayne! By far my favourite reviewer of anything Metal, on BANGERTV or otherwise. Not only are you funny Mr. Smith, you paint such vivid images with your descriptions, so I really get a feel for the album being reviewed, even if I haven't heard it in full yet. The part about 'sanguine' and 'melancholic' being words you learned from Space Marines killed me!
THAT HELLRIPPER SHIRT!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Blayne you are always so funny and I feel like you always wear a hooded menace type of merch they must be your favorite band :)
great review on a great album, now cover Gaahls WYRD next!
Darkthrone was and are a Killer band no doubt.
Where can I get that animated art at the beginning? I want to make this a live wallpaper for my PC really fucking bad.
Never mind. Figured it out.
Review the new Xaon album. It's amazing.
7:50 that opeth shirt is sick
Yeah that is indeed a cool box!
Blayne was spot on with this review. I got my copy a day early too, and while it's definitely not their best work, it's probably my favorite from them in recent years. It makes good background noise, but when you pay attention to it, it's a joy to listen to. It's got a little bit of black metal, a bit of doom, heavy metal...basically everything great about Darkthrone.
This album kicks ass. What other Darkthrone albums should I buy and what ones should I stay away from?
Good take on the album!
Is it my headphones or can I only hear you with my left headphone
Nop, video's audio is a bit loud on the left channel
He just really quiet on the right hand side
It hurts my brain
Only have left headphone in. Yes! I guess I can still get lucky. Take that wife
sounds fine on my end and i don't even have my earbuds in
Darkthrone AND 40K? Blayne, I love you!!!
what's the song that closes the video?
HELLRIPPER, FUK YEAH
Hardships of the Scots reminds me of Sodom's City of God's Riff before the vocalist says "Dont Be Afraid" and when he says "Dont Walk Away"
Favorite reviewer; favorite band. Insert dab here.
Also “crust/fuck you vibe” is the perfect way to put it. I couldn’t get into them until the Cult Is Alive and now they’re my favorite band.
this video started in 144p, trve kvlt \m/
Lmao 😂 now thats epic af 😂
I want the Opeth shirt at 7:50
Blayne take a beer! No, take two beers! 🍺🍺
Gladly!
One of the better Darkthrone albums of recent years. Not exactly Transylvanian Hunger but it's a damned good album.
Agreed, "Circle the Wagons" rules!!!
I'm a simple man ..I see Bangertv review . I click instantly
The first press of Darkthrone's 'Transilvanian Hunger' had the text "Norsk Arisk Black Metal" which later got removed because it means Norwegian Aryan Black Metal and some people weren't too happy about that (:
"By the Blood of Sanguinius!"
Agree with Blayne’s attitude towards lyrics.
Hellripper and hooded menace nice🤘
You guys should do the new Batushka album anyway
Fucking hell yeah
Awesome album
It's no underground resistance, but still a highly enjoyable LP.
Holy fuck, Svatan's latest album fucking rocks. One of the best BM releases of the year.
Hell yeah this album is great and the new Batushka (the real one) is stellar.
This is an awesome example of how to produce a good sounding metal album that still sounds raw and old school. Easily the best sounding Darkthrone album ever.
aguante. Darkthrone. Soy de
SAN LUIS. ARGENTINA.
My left ear really enjoyed this the most, for some reason
Darkthrone! \m/
😍😍❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼
Blayne the word for sad and funny at the same time is "tragicomic."
Darkthrone = 🤘🤘🤘🤘
No Deathspell Omega review?
They're not cool enough to review something THAT interesting. Darkthrone is cool but they're far from DSO caliber
@@MrCartmannnWho cares soyboy.
I wanna see a review on the new Inanimate Existence review!!!
Hey!
AGUANTE darkthrone SOY DE SAN LUIS ARGENTINA
As a norwegian metalhead I'm ashamed to say haven't listened to a hell of a lot black metal, but decided to do what Blayne said and check out circle the wagon, and now I'm obsessed! Been listening to BM all week, Thank you
Circle the Wagons føles nesten mer som ei punk-skive enn BM, er du ikke enig? Uansett en av de mest undervurderte skivene de har, vanvittig bra greier
@@thomasbjrnerud1120 Ja enig, er nok derfor jeg liker den så godt.
