"right, early March 2012 we will record two new songs finally. It will be exactly two years since the last recording session. We are now eager to get going and nail our new album. This "break" has been good, but now it's time to act." /fuckbook
^ So back in business and usually they work their stuff together pretty swiftly.

Yeah, the 1-2 take approach and owning their own studio enables them to crank it when they get together.

I have a feeling that 2012 is gonna be an epic year for new releases.... for this one, the only thing I ask is riff, upon riff, upon rifffffff !
They won't disappoint, for sure.

Regardless of their style, I'm positive this is not going to be bad. Pure black, crust punk, doom, whatever.

why keep people saying it reminds them of Kind Diamond when it sounds way more like a mix of Exciter and Agent Steel, especially the John Cyriis like vocals and halfway it goes into total Celtic Frost territory

and given Darkthrone's penchant for more obsucre heavy metal and speed metal and referecing that in their music it is also way more logical to have Agent Steel and Exciter shine through than KD ;-)

Fair enough, you would know better about the older metal than I do. Plus I never got that big into Darkthrone but since I have recently acquired a slight taste for crust punk and knowing that Darkthrone shifted to crustpunk some albums back and now hearing this new (and rather interesting) shift I am thinking I need to go back and give Darkthrone another listen.
I have all their albums up to The Cult Is Alive but since I never acquired much of a taste for them or crust punk I never bothered to check out anything past TCIA... *shrug*

If you liked this then check out the ones after TCIA.... They didn't really continue with crust punka fter that one.

They suck because they aren't kvlt!!! Jk, I actually love all their new stuff, but it helps that I am already a fan of crust punk to begin with. But yeah I am looking forward to more people bitching about how they aren't full on black metal anymore, it just shows who appreciates the music versus those who listen to old Darkthrone to gain some kind of status or whatever it is they are trying to do.

I love all the predictable hate for new Darkthrone albums... As if your thoughts on the state of Black Metal are more important than Fenris'! You can't make Black Metal 20 years into a successful career, it wouldn't be genuine (and let's face it, genuine is about the only compliment you can give to early Darkthrone, I mean it's pretty ghastly stuff 
At any rate, after a few repeats I am thoroughly enjoying this one; much improved vocals, and Valkyrie is a straight up epic track! Possibly their best yet!

I did not hear the rest of the album but 'Leave No Cross Unturned' is fucking awesome! It reminds me Mercyful Fate mixed with Type O Negative (first album and maybe Carnivore). The track can be heard entirely on Pitchfork -> http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17642-darkthrone-the-underground-resistance/

Nice diatribe, but there's no black metal here anyway. It's competent, if very unoriginal, speed metal being driven by the fame of the band's past Having a successful career doesn't mean you have to be consistently good throughout it. Darkthrone probably have a 50% good quality ratio at best. To me this album has a nice sound but is let down by some flat and uninteresting song writing.

I've always thought that Darkthrone were great at producing this style of raw, thrashy Black Metal and on their latest album they do it very well indeed. Each and every song seems to have its own memorable qualities and the vocals, although a little strange when sung 'cleanly', add to the consistency of the sound in general. In particular 'Valkyrie', 'The ones you left behind' and apt closer 'Leave no cross unturned' each present a bit of variety on Darkthrone's part. The riffs on every song charge along with simplistic yet furious style and the harsher vocals do add to the raw, slightly primitive sound that the instrumentation produces. Fuck the haters, this album rules.

But is this.... really BM? No, it's not. I like modern Darkthrone but I find it hard to call it BM. Just some cool punk/heavy metal with some black/thrash influences here and there.
If this were to go to Metalstorm Awards, I'd like to see this in heavy metal category, nowhere near black.

I say Black Metal in the way that bands like Mercyful Fate and Bathory were categorized as 'Black Metal', and not the kind that Darkthrone played on 'A blaze...'. This is quite obviously influenced by Heavy Metal and Speed Metal but I can also identify with the really early Black Metal sound in the 80's. But yeah, I agree with you that this album would fit in the Heavy Metal category in the awards.

Yeah I didn't mean to say this is supposed to be Black Metal, more that if Darkthrone doesn't want to do Black Metal, than any self-respecting fan should understand that it's with good reason. I can't stop playing it, that's all that matters to me!

Just checked in after long time this band...all I can say Darkthrone truly gone after Sardonic Wrath....this new so called Darkthrone is nothing more than a drunken homage to band's idols with a few flashes of their early brilliance (so this rating is for those moments)...and when some other band is copying some established band you all spit on them! looks like Darkthrone can shit on paper and you'll all buy it...damn, are you deaf?

I agree, we all have different tastes, but c'mon this is absolutely unoriginal and tribute like...especially since those bands they try so hard to copy (Venom, Merciful Fate, Sodom etc) sounds million times better than this average crap...like I said, this is not Darkthrone but some poor parody of 80's metal scene...

Well I'm afraid I beg to differ. I've tracked Darkthrone's entire discography since 'A Blaze in the northern sky' and, although it isn't as original as I'd like it to be, I really am not disappointed by this album at all. This is certainly Darkthrone, but it's a different one from what we've come to expect from albums such as 'The cult is alive' and 'hate them'. Plus I can't see why you think Darkthrone are "copying" Venom, Mercyful Fate or Sodom-Darkthrone don't sound anything like these bands, and especially not on "The underground Resistance".
I can see why this album gets ratings as low as yours though. Fortunately for me I love the style

Been trying to treat this like I did Circle, i.e. giving it repeated listens in various scenarios in the hope that the songs grow on me (like they did with Circle) and while it worked for some sections all in all in just served to highlight how thoroughly bland the song writing is. The ballsy, grimy sound is great but the dynamics are flatter than a super model's breasts on Jupiter.
Farkthrone (I can't be arsed to correct that phone-typo) seem to be caught in two black and white opposing camps at the moment. We have the new era fanboys accusing any dissenters of this to be stuck in the past / misunderstanding what the band is truly about (because they're oh so rebellious in doing what they want) against fans of ye old Transilvanian Blaze in the Northern Moon who say they're just ripping off old cult heavy punk speed metal and what they're doing now is of no value. The truth of the matter is though is that duo have released quality albums in both eras, but they've also released a lot of shite too. Saying one camp is better than the other is not an argument that works for a band as inconsistent as this. I think this record belongs in the dump with Goat Lord et al.

First time listening to this band. I had to because I've read great things about this album all over the internet. If I ever need a diversion or something different or feel like listening to a cross between Motorhead and King Diamond I will play this first. I may have to spin it a few more times to see if I "get it".

I'll be honest, I will tell right away that I belong to the camp of those who like the Peaceville trilogy but believe modern Darkthrone is utterly worthless crap. If I want to listen to Motorhead, I'll listen to Motorhead. Same for Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, etc. Also, I think Darkthrone release way too many albums. Perhaps if they released less stuff, then they could come with something worthwhile.
Mind you, I'm not angry at them. I'll just stick to the Darkthrone I like, which means their BM stuff.
Like a few ones mentioned already, their new stuff is not BM.
