SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY 2026 RELEASE OF ONE OF DARKTHRONE’S RARE LIVE APPEARANCES, PRESENTED ON LIMITED PETROL VINYL WITH PRINTED INNER SLEEVE.
Longstanding Norwegian band Darkthrone started in 1986, originally under the name of Black Death, before their final infamous moniker was introduced. Although becoming known the world over as a black metal band crucial to the lasting legacy of the genre, Darkthrone began more as an extreme metal band utilising elements of thrash, death & doom metal into their early compositions.
With the core classic line-up of Gylve Nagell (Drums), Ted Skjellum (Guitars/vocals), Ivar Enger (Guitars) & Dag Nilsen (Bass) & presented for the first time on standalone vinyl (having previously only featured in the long sold-out ‘Shadows Of Iconoclasm’ boxset), ‘As Wolves Among Sheep…’ Live in Oslo ’90 sees the Norwegian quartet still in their formative years at the legendary Bootleg, playing a collection of material from their demos (which were to be included on the ‘Soulside Journey’ debut album), along with rare performances of tracks which would eventually surface on the intended but then abandoned follow-up, ‘Goatlord’.
The vinyl contains audio sourced from a digital transfer from the original master tapes courtesy of the Bootleg TV archive, with mastering work carried out by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
This edition of ‘As Wolves Among Sheep…’ is presented on limited Petrol coloured vinyl for Record Store Day 2026 & includes a printed inner sleeve with photos & lyrics.
