You know it’s going to be a good week whenever there is a new Darkthrone track. When said track is a return to form that harkens back to the band’s ’90s heyday, you know it’s going to be a great week. And that is where today finds us. The Norwegian gods of black metal have gifted us with the first single from their upcoming sixteenth studio album Arctic Thunder, which will be released on October 14, 2016 via Peaceville Records. After nearly a dozen year diversion, Darktrhone have decided to cast off the black-n-roll and crust punk diversions and get back down to their black metal roots.

This week’s Black Metal Friday track is the record’s aforementioned first single which is titled “Tundra Leech.” Just crank it up and rejoice in the black metal purity that is Darkthrone at their finest. And be to pre-order the album because if this track is any indication, Arctic Thunder going to be one of the year’s “must own” records.
