Darkthrone - The Pagan Winter

[Conorgrind]

Transilvanian Hunger fucking SUCKS. Especially compared to this album

[drummer80005]

Is that dead on the cover?

[0oxChippyxo0]

@drummer80005 no that's Nocturno culto

[satyrludi]

@drummer80005 I think it's Dave Pybus, he was credited for the CD cover design. I'm just assuming, it could him or anybody from darkthrone, quite as well.

[natfronmanifesto]

I have this Great album in LP . I think that BM should be listen in cassette ( chromo tape) or Lp format. they fit perfectly together!!

[babymagggiee]

I love that SuperJointRitual was formed around this song & this band!

[MrDodstink]

I remember when i firstly saw DARKTHRONE´S albums in LP back in ´93-´94 when black metal was underground,fuckin´internet not existed and I was in touch,by letters,with several true bloodbrothers worldwide as Sotiris of septic Flesh(Gre), Tuomas of Parkana Distro(Fin),No Colours Rec(Ger),Blackheim of Katatonia(Swe),Death Scrolls zine(Swe). So, The pagan winter spreads utter disturbing,cold,unlight atmosphere...

[lordthanatos723]

una obra Maestra del mas alto nivel Artistico todo este album Legendario

[giselazul333]

DEFINITIVAMENTE UNA DE LAS MEJORES... SU ATMOSFERA ESTA CONSTITUIDA Y DEFINIDOS EN EL VERDADERO BLACK METAL MUY VOLADOS ESOS DIABLOS....LOS AMO

[brainac0cult]

this is actually exciting to listen to. so deep and hateful. and that solo is so atmospheric.

[zero2492]

according to my farmer's almanac, there is a 75% chance of this winter being a Pagan one.

@SgtDecoy

It is bad that you're a christian, regardless of whether or not you listen to this.

[bizarewigga]

@fkn666 fuck christian metalheads they are posers!!

[SgtDecoy]

is it bad that i listen to this and im a christian?

sounds amazing

[Melancholymotion]

@SgtDecoy No I'm a Christian, a lot of people think it's cool to diss Christians because thats what the bands do ! Who's the sheep ? Believe what you want and listen to what you want !

[bizarewigga]

@Melancholymotion christian? you total fucking poser!!!!

[tokorev747777]

@Melancholymotion It is cool to diss them, Because they diss us and call us Satanists. And then you go off and form Christian black metal bands? Doesn't make sense to me.

[Melancholymotion]

@tokorev747777 To be honest I don't care what people believe! I listen to a lot off music with satanic lyrics, not because I agree with it but because simply I like the music, there are a couple of ok Christian bands, for example paramaecium but as long as it sounds good I'm a happy chap.

the egyptians years later domesticated a donkey, their hystory was wiped and robbed by greeks romans and what followed first ones to see womans as equals somthing the heatens hated and still dont do you know the sayng history repeats it self well as long as we know what realy happenned ok enough i love this band and this music

[TheMartinopr]

yes the riff at 1;27 gives me goose bumps i see my self swingig a hammer on a batlefield back in time defending the pagan belives the heatens whiped out, butt for you of those who dont know the passage oin the bible about death riding upon babylon was about 70,000 horse back scynthians(todays slovakia ,romania ukraine) riding upon babylon they made cups out of the enemies skulls the greeks were afraid of them the greeks robed all theyr burial chamberssame time they domesticated a horse

[MrDDDenis]

The end of song is very similar to outro of Bathory's albums, but it's a great song.

[machthungrigerpenner]

@MrDDDenis

It's the same sound as for the Intro in Kathaarian Life Code

how has nobody mentioned that twisted carnival lead bit at 2:19 yet? that guitar tone is so damn cold

[tomik524]

this song is simply perfect for hot summer days, it makes the air in your apartment cool down immediately.

[tomik524]

i personally think that this song exceeds "a blaze in the northern sky", but they couldn't choose a better name for the album as a whole, it truly was a blaze. and of course, the final choir i love but the whole song is kicking ass... christian ass :)

[Dungarth]

.Even though people thumbs up the guy who said the early riff started his Black Metal addiction..for me the riff from 4:30 was what stuck in my mind and has done for almost 14 years now!

[lolPaperclip]

Philip Anselmo got his band name from the lyrics of this song.. Superjoint Ritual.

[xSpArTiChRiSx]

back when bm vocals didnt sound like complete shit

[FutileExistence]

Great stuff, quite innovative and essential to black metal.

[Pingu616]

1:27 The riff that began my Black metal addiction.

[doom696mented]

@Pingu616 a classic true black metal riff, indeed !

[Possesssed666]

The legendary album. This album basically paved the way for the true sound of black metal
