DARKTHRONE - ASTRAL FORTRESS - THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM TRAILER

ASTRAL FORTRESS – THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE LEGENDARY DARKTHRONE - DUE FOR RELEASE ON PEACEVILLE RECORDS ON 28TH OCTOBER 2022 Pre-orders are live from 9am UK time on Thursday 8th September - This new studio opus, due for release on Peaceville on 28th October 2022, is a swift follow-up to 2021’s Eternal Hails opus, as a result of Darkthrone’s consistent and ongoing writing process, which has been in force for some years now. For Darkthrone does not sleep - it only waits. Carried on the brisk wind of eager rock, with foundations in black, thrash, doom and heavy metal, Astral Fortress is the latest album of stellar, eclectic old metal in the Darkthrone odyssey. With a seemingly endless dungeon full of heavy metal influences channelled through Darkthrone’s dynamic riff-machine, plus also with many increasing inspirations taken from their own past catalogue. Even though sprinkled with atmospheric touches such as synthesizers and mellotron on Astral Fortress to great effect, the Darkthrone sound remains stripped down to the core; always primitive and organic. Darkthrone has truly become its own beast within the metal world. ‘Astral Fortress’ was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios in Oslo, the same location used for the Eternal Hails album, with Ole Øvstedal and Silje Høgevold.
