‘Total Death’ was the sixth album from Norwegian black metal legends Darkthrone, and 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. The song-writing on ‘Total Death’ was split equally between the 2 members, Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, with Nocturno supplying lyrics to his own songs, whilst Fenriz gave the honour to notable members of the Norwegian metal scene: Garm from Ulver, Ihsahn from Emperor, Carl-Michael Eide from Aura Noir/Ved Buens Ende and Satyr from Satyricon. The album delivers a classic dose of mid and up-tempo black metal, along with thrash, such as on the track ‘Blasphemer’. --------------------------- Track List: 1 Earth's Last Picture (05:13) 2 Blackwinged (04:26) 3 Gather for Attack on the Pearly Gates (04:53) 4 Black Victory of Death (04:01) 5 Majestic Desolate Eye (03:07) 6 Blasphemer (04:01) 7 Ravnajuv (04:20) 8 The Serpent's Harvest (05:43) 9 God of Disturbance and Friction (Bonus Track) (03:42)
