DARKTHRONE - Transilvanian Hunger LP4th album of this black metal cult band! A black metal band from Kolbotn, Norway, formed in 1987 (initially founded as Black Death in 1986). Darkthrone started as a death metal group, but having released Soulside Journey they decided to abandon the technical death metal style and transformed into a black metal band. With their primitive and abrasive style, Darkthrone quickly became one of the most influential and respected bands of the early 1990s
