Historical Tidbits. The norwegian metal evolution through the ears of a native. In 1996 I attended a rare event; Darkthrone (1986 - present) performing live. It was a coheadlining event with Satyricon (who premiered their Mother North video on a huge screen), Dissection was support. Halfway through Darkthrones set Fenriz got mad at an audience member, shouted at him into the microphone and walked off the stage. The concert was over. Darkthrone is an influential Norwegian metal band. They formed in 1986 as a death metal band under the name Black Death. In 1991, the band embraced a black metal style influenced by Bathory and Celtic Frost[4] and became one of the leading bands in the Norwegian black metal scene. Their first three black metal albums—A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon and Transilvanian Hunger (sometimes dubbed the Unholy Trinity)—are considered the peak of the bands career and to be among the most influential albums in the genre. For most of this time, Darkthrone has been a duo of Nocturno Culto and Fenriz, who have sought to remain outside the music mainstream. Since 2006, their work has strayed from the traditional black metal style and incorporated more elements of traditional heavy metal, speed metal and punk rock, being likened to Motörhead. youtube/watch?v=BmA6PDutNDE
