Darkthrone: Fucking Off and Dying

It's a DAMN good thing that there is a Darkthrone. If not for them, the metal world would most likely implode from it's own "we-take-ourselves-way-too-serious" pretentiousness and we'd all proably be waiting 8 years at a time for shitty Metallica albums to come out. Instead, about every 2 weeks we get a new Darkthrone ep followed 15 minutes later by a full length of metal insanity. That's right, I said metal...not black, not thrash, not "fill in the blank"...METAL!

Fuck Off and Die (F.O.A.D.) the bands 13th album is a breath of fresh, yet very old air offering up tribute to many ancient bullet-belt wearing, fist-banging, axe-grinding, beer drinkin' warriors of old and song for song, riff after riff, vocal after vocal (...eh-hem) the album proves it's title is not only the most appropriate, it's relentless in it's attempt and making you want to do just as the title suggests. Shall I go through a song by song homogenization of the tracks for you? Too bad, go pick up an issue Revolver for that kind of sterile reviewing. This writer has one review and one review only...Klassic! Music or Fuck Off and Die!!!

Thanks to Proscriptor for my copy of F.O.A.D. for my birthday!
