Darkthrone - The Underground Resistance

And possibly my favorite of modern Darkthrone. It's been a while since I've listened to their newer stuff, but I remember enjoying TCIA and Hate Them quite a bit... and back to this album.

Sardonic Wrath is pretty decent too...

(Vocally) better than Circle The Wagons. Sounds like heavy/speed metal. And what do they mean by "no A.N.D cut 'n' paste trickery" (I think it says A.N.D, it's in fancy writing)?

It's ANY, I think... at least it's what I understood and it makes sense

Does anyone else think Fenriz sounds like Doctor Teeth in parts of Leave No Cross Unturned? (like the bit where he says "Nocturno Culto!)

Very interesting and unprecedented kind of metal, mix of styles. Even hard to classify as specific style. Is there any band even a bit similar? Interesting riffs and super vocal with specific parts when voice is going down the scale How this is possible to give "2" for that? In revenge or just by stupidity? As this is not garage shit but professional music and thus could not be interesting for someone as the style but it's not a shit for 2.
Previous DT albums were quite nice (I start listen from Dark Thrones And Black Flags) with some very good single songs but also with some others not so good or just boring as my wife... This time "The Underground Resistance" is very consistent and good album as a whole. With some pearls like Valkyrie or Leave No Cross Unturned, but there is not bad or average track recorded. I shall only regret that this is so short album (only 41 mins). I want more!

I never thought I'd hear the word "unprecedented" in association with this album

Fairly good but kind of a mixed bag. I still don't get why this should be regarded as better than the previous albums - which I still prefer.

Frankly speeking, I find this album PERFECT. I haven't expected that these guys have been able to release such energetic album... I liked their previous three or two crust-black-punk albums (he-he), but this one impressed me notoriously... Thanks them a lot. And I hope that the further works and albums will be even more energetic:yes:

Am I the only one that see a total copy (others might say worship) of early Celtic Frost in here (even in the production)?

Only I own from this one, BM days are over, and band still kicking ... 2 men and what they can do, but there goes prog and DT and progressive prog , 5-10 instremtalists, they just play and its getting boring , primitivism is the key, Ac/Dc is example. Band went evolution way and it was great, strong inficual characters , personalities, can make it happen.

My personal Top 3 songs from the album:

Dead Early
Leave No Cross Unturned
Lesser Men
