Darkthrone - The Wind Of 666 Black Hearts - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD

The Wind of 666 Black Hearts sees a return to the early days of the highly influential Norwegian black metal legends, featuring tracks from rehearsals conducted in 1991 & 1992, as the band forged their way to black metal notoriety with a vast transformation in style between their early death metal offerings to a stripped down, completely raw, cold and chaotic sound which was set to take the world of extreme metal to
new depths. Contained on this double LP release are tracks which would go on to feature on the classic ‘A Blaze in the Northern Sky’ & ‘Under a Funeral Moon’ albums. The ‘Blaze…’ rehearsal features the line-up of Nocturno Culto, Fenriz, Zephyrous & Dag Nilsen, whereas the ‘Under a Funeral Moon’ rehearsal tracks saw Darkthrone narrowed to a 3-piece act, with Nocturno moving to bass & Zephyrous handling all guitars.
The recordings are taken from the band’s rehearsal place in Vinterbro, located directly south of Gjersjøen lake that separates Vinterbro from Kolbotn. The Wind of 666 Black Hearts is presented on double white 180gm vinyl with a gatefold sleeve, including rare photos, plus new liner notes from Fenriz, plus lyrics.
