A true original black metal masterpiece. You could make an argument that Transilvanian Hunger should go here instead, but I decided to highlight A Blaze in the Northern Sky because, to me, it is a perfect mix of cold, face-ripping violence, black metal aesthetic, and big, swaggering riffage – with attitude and groove to spare. Maybe just do yourself a favor and check them both out, eh? Darkthrone are awesome, and Blaze would be a sweet album even if “Kathaarian Life Code” was the only track on it. Hail!
