Special deluxe limited edition boxset containing: purple colored vinyl LP pressing, CD in alternate digi sleeve format, cassette tape, 12 page booklet, 10" art print, and handwritten letter print from Fenriz. 2021 release from the Norwegian black metal band. Darkthrone return for album number 19 and a new dose of metallic godliness. On the back of 2019's triumphant Old Star opus, the duo of Nocturno Culto and Fenriz present a 41 minute maelstrom of epic black heavy metal across five sprawling compositions. Organic and dynamic, the album is an exploration of the very finest vintage metal and the best of doom, all delivered in the unmistakable Darkthrone style, whilst also incorporating instruments such as the Moog to further expand upon these soundscapes. Eschewing the process of using their own Necrohell II studios - which has served the band so well over the last 15 years - and welcoming a change of environment and the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, Eternal Hails was recorded at Chaka Khan Studio in Oslo, and engineered by Ole Ovstedal & Silje Høgevold, breathing new life into the sound while retaining the essence of Darkthrone's natural, raw feeling.
