Highly inspirational to a whole generation of bands, \u0026amp; also uncompromisingly steadfast throughout their now extensive catalogue, the long-standing duo of \u003cstrong\u003eFenriz\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eNocturno Culto\u003c\/strong\u003e have remained dedicated to the art of the riff \u0026amp; forging their own path, relentlessly steering the band against the tide of trend. From the death\/ doom technicality of 1991's debut masterpiece '\u003cem\u003eSoulside Journey\u003c\/em\u003e', through the spearheading of the notorious \"second wave of black metal\" period of the earlier 1990s, \u0026amp; the integration of punk \u0026amp; heavy doom elements along with way, the Nordic titans have undoubtedly carved an exquisite \u0026amp; eclectic legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a sequence of albums under the Moonfog label throughout the mid-to-late 90s \u0026amp; into the new millennium, Darkthrone made the leap back to their original home at Peaceville, for a spectacular return in the shape of '\u003cem\u003eThe Cult Is Alive\u003c\/em\u003e', released in 2006. With the band's own newly-established Necrohell 2 studio in operation, this allowed the duo to make everything purely on their own terms \u0026amp; in their own time. Creative boundaries were also further removed in order to embrace some of the punk influences which had to date been more subdued, \u0026amp; in the process, created the beginnings of a new era for the band, first revealed in the form of the lead track '\u003cem\u003eToo Old, Too Cold\u003c\/em\u003e'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis special 20th anniversary pressing of '\u003cem\u003eThe Cult Is Alive\u003c\/em\u003e' is presented on limited marble vinyl, with the cover artwork for the album created by Kim Solve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PEACEVILLE","offers":[{"title":"Marble Vinyl LP","offer_id":59435021599065,"sku":"SDZ-52417","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Untitled-Design-2_983f7636-8327-492e-ad6e-b130f3b80a99.png?v=1789466862","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/darkthrone-the-cult-is-alive-20th-anniversary","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
