Darkthrone present "Black Dawn Affiliation", the first and only advance single from their oncoming It Beckons Us All...... full length offering. The latter comes out on April 26th via Peaceville Records.




Fenriz comments of the song’s creation: "Nocturno Culto sculpted "Black Dawn Affiliation" and as much as I writhe in woe trying to describe riffs I did not make, we are certainly rocking hard and dark around a dungeon of slow Kreator 1986-era riffs (think "Awakening Of The Gods" or "Take Their Lives" from the Flag Of Hate 12")."

Nocturno Culto adds: "It is not easy to describe the music you make, but for sure I will try…it´s heavy! Everything worked out as I hoped for this track. Some things are just forged in the studio, like as Fenriz's excellent vocals at the end of the song; and the choir I wanted. Instead of just taking shortcuts, Fenriz and I recorded three vocal tracks each, and it was brilliantly mixed by Silje at Chaka Khan. There are many things one can say about riffs, but I make songs from a combination of a very methodical approach and happy accidents! And somewhere in the back of my head, it´s most likely there is something affecting a lot of my decisions on little details that shapes the riffing."
