{"title":"Darkthrone","description":"\u003cp\u003eDarkthrone began as a death metal band in the Oslo suburb of Kolbotn, and their 1991 debut \u003cem\u003eSoulside Journey\u003c\/em\u003e is a fine example of the style. Then they tore it all down: \u003cem\u003eA Blaze in the Northern Sky\u003c\/em\u003e swapped technical precision for buzzing, lo-fi guitars, shrieked vocals and a cold, hypnotic pull that helped define Norwegian black metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnder a Funeral Moon\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTransilvanian Hunger\u003c\/em\u003e pushed that rawness further, often little more than tremolo riffs and blasting drums recorded with deliberately primitive, lo-fi production.
