Darkthrone's debut album was basically Swedish death metal, which made it all the more surprising when they unleashed the most evil and black album the world had ever heard in 1992. One of the most influential albums in metal, Darkthrone nailed the coldness and raw hatred that fills so much of the genre and that awesome album cover is right up there with the best. Kathaarian Life Code is an amazing track that covers the whole spectrum of "true", raw black metal.
