Exclusive limited clear vinyl edition of the 1992 iconic Black Metal classic 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky' by Darkthrone.
'A Blaze In The Northern Sky', Darkthrone's official second album, was originally released in 1992 and was without question one of the blueprints for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal focused debut, 'Soulside Journey'.
The rawness apparent on the album (recorded at Creative Studios, the same location as Mayhem's legendary Deathcrush was put to tape), was unusual for the time and an antithesis to the usual metal production values & standards during the period. With this, Darkthrone's statement of attitude & intent was clear, and their status as masters of Norwegian black metal was set.
