Under A Funeral Moon

Darkthrone began life in the late 80's as a thrash/death metal act and progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world and one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands. Under A Funeral Moon, Darkthrone's third album, was originally released by Peaceville in 1993. The album is a bleak reflection of contemporary times, featuring harsh guitar riffage and hateful vocals in what was the band's first 100% pure black metal opus; a work completely stripped of the death metal traces of former releases and in its place, a stark and primitive execution. This was aided by an intentionally lo-fi sound that is powerfully cold and entirely unconcerned with any modern-day aesthetics. Under A Funeral Moon is the album that many Darkthrone fans hail as the ultimate manifesto for Black Metal. Marking 30 years of Peaceville Records and Darkthrone, Under a Funeral Moon is presented on special limited picture disc vinyl with cut-out sleeve, featuring artwork from the original album inlay painting, with the cover photograph on the reverse side.
