* PREORDER * expected to arrive for March 6th release

Extensive 9LP deluxe collector's box set marking 40 years of the Norwegian Black Metal legends.

Includes 48-pg book+DVD with exclusive career interview.

Initially forming under the moniker of Black Death back in 1986, the star of Darkthrone has ascended with reverence and a degree of infamy over the course of four decades, to become one of the most notable metal bands to have emerged from Norway.

Highly inspirational to a whole generation of bands, and also uncompromisingly steadfast throughout their now extensive catalogue, the long-standing duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto have remained dedicated to the art of the riff and forging their own path, relentlessly steering the band against the tide of trend.

From the death/doom technicality of 1991's debut masterpiece 'Soulside Journey', through the spearheading of the notorious "second wave of black metal" period of the earlier 1990s and the integration of punk and heavy doom elements along with way, the Nordic titans have undoubtedly carved an exquisite and eclectic legacy.

Featuring nine classic albums in this collection, from the "unholy trinity" of Peaceville albums spanning 1992's genre-defining 'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' up until 1994's 'Transilvanian Hunger' opus, the set concludes with Darkthrone's 2004 swansong for then label, Moonfog Productions, in the form of 'Sardonic Wrath'.

With each album having received a freshly updated master courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony to ensure they remain in line with the originals, each title is also supplied with their original covers, sleeve designs and presented on heavyweight vinyl.

The DVD features an exclusive interview with Fenriz and Culto, plus bonus features in the form of a trilogy of interviews from 2003, plus the band's rare 1996 live show in Oslo.

The set includes a selection of posters and art prints containing artwork and band photography.
