Darkthrone - Live, Oslo TV 89-90

[UlverBr]

Early days!

[joeblowthehot]

so young!

[gaderius]

HAIL VHS!!!

[TylerMorbid]

for one of the best black metal bands of all time, they make one of the best death metal albums of all time..haha..thats why darkthrone fucking rulez

[Deathjake29]

@TylerMorbid well said!!!

[TapYouOut81]

I don't think any of their albums are equal to Soulside Journey. Don't get wrong, I dig their Black Metal stuff, but the Old School Death Metal sound is where it's at!

[skegtheegg]

@TapYouOut81

Cant say i agree, But yeah there old school death metal shit was really good.

Stay true!

[TapYouOut81]

@skegtheegg I respect your opinion! :D

[Blackwinged131]

this is definately something from "Soulside Journey". Need to listen to that album)

[jay94271]

at least its not too digital

[MrDodstink]

Very heavy, well played and dark atmosphere ince early days!!!

[insanital]

Death fuckin' metal (with balls).

[Donnerkopp95]

Eierköppe!

[heimdallthemetalhead]

what are the songs they play?

[flescum]

@heimdallthemetalhead Think this is from the Cromlech-demo or something. Some of the songs ended up on Soulside Journey I think

[BlackAngel111111]

Death Metal pretty boyz :))

[Grakbonedust]

They should stop doing crust/punk albums and do another death metal record. Haha. I love their black metal, but these were their best years by far.

[Zodist]

Old skool death metal.No more no less until Euronymous told them to change to black metal.Still Soulside Journey remains one of the classic death metal album of all times.Doom and Gloom.

[WeedVulva]

AUTOPSY!

[johnpelton]

The best Darkthrone ever was the Death Metal ! "Soulside Journey" is one of my top 3 recordings ever !!! I fukin love this stuff. Thank you so much for posting it !!!!!!!

[moremoxi]

As much as they detest playing out, I really, really wish there were more videos of them, like this one, that show how great they truly were, live...Thanks so much for the awesome vid!!

[darwinism14]

watch?v=SUkAh_ZIwLU

[mydarklovelyprince]

This has got to be one of the most awesome vids on the internet!

[CaptainScarlet2006]

Young DarkThrone =Death metal

[cochi256]

[Tombking2]

@cochi256 Yup

[Rilyn666]

cromlech an amasing song

[UlverBr]

Awesome death metal times! Soulside journey is, truly, a good scandinavian death metal album.

[ajseary]

yay for old school darkthrone ha reminds me of goat lord

[WolfBlood81]

hail!

[MARGINALTHRASH]

this is the true spirit of metal ,amateur ,without great productions ,Long life under metal ,death to stupid possers

[thegreatcreator]

THIS IS SOME FUNKY SHIT

[tecagroindustrial]

this is black metal, no fashion, only satan's music force!

[Fxxkit13]

@tecagroindustrial Black Metal? This is before they turned BM tard. They haven't even released Soulside Journey at this point in time.

[tecagroindustrial]

yes, you'll right. This is the early times of darkthrone, they adopted the style of black metal 1991.

[bleueyeddevl]

TOTAL ND WORSHIP

[Lygacy]

Fenriz's hair looks like Keanu Reeves' hair from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures". Nice video, BTW.

[infinidominion]

that comment may have just made my day....its early though

[ethanissoamazing]

Darkthrone as a death metal band back in the day...AMAZING!! Love this Darkthrone!

[DoomHammerr93]

I like old Darkthrone!

[WeedVulva]

I fucking love when darkthrone used to sound like autopsy, great time for death metal

[darkforestspirit]

fuck u bitches, dakthrone is not black, death or heavy. darkthrone is darkthrone!

[owneratcod4]

@darkforestspirit thats is so very fucking true.

[Jackoroth]

Yellow shirt?

[necrospawn91]

TRUE Death Metal!!

[necrospawn91]

Black Metal????

This is Old School Death!

Listen the old darkthrone!!!!

[blackreith666]

damn u are right sorry forgot that they adopted the black metal style in 1991 :S

[abathx]

old fucking Darkthrone, AWESOME

[Guldur1099]

What a great stuff and killing sound...i think Noc and Fenriz should record one more album like Soulside Journey....

[thormeister]

Soulside was brilliant!

[turdferguson2]

darkthrone had a unique death metal sound. I'm glad they went in another direction with 'a blaze', but this era of darkthrone is underrated

[intoyourgrave666]

Best band ever. Their first album is the best thing to happen to death metal not even all the U.S. death metal bands together could make such a album like Soulside Journey.

[bardybeard]

you forgot about Death "scream bloody gore"

[DecemberWind]

Woow this live is a pearl :) Thanks !

[twikirobot]

Fucking awesome!!!

[EmporerReagan]

pure fucking genius

[skullvomit666]

DarkThrone's early recordings were some of the best Death Metal ever created. Their "Cromlech" demo in particular (which I believe was recorded during this video session) is one of the best Death Metal demos I ever heard. Nocturno Culto had one of the best Death Metal voices.

[3nambpam3]

"DarkThrone's early recordings were some of the best Death Metal ever created. Their "Cromlech" demo in particular"

Well, maybe not some of the best ever but yes the Cromlech demo was arguably the best thing they ever did before turning fossilizing into the utterly overrated dung they've been ever since. Take the BM media hype away from them, Burzum and Mayhem and you're left with very average music at best.

Interesting video though.

[Mantryd]

early Darkthrone work in Death Metal

[JednookiStarzec]

Thanks for posting it man. Best works of Darkthrone. Pure black

[andrerochertek]

/,,/

[spektralinferus]

the fucking best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |m|

[greatmustis]

fucking great band¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Ihqnobo]

They're amazing

[javiersoler666]

cool

[sebafilth083]

genial

[metalmickau08]

i love the hair cuts

[finalholocaust]

Best Darkthrone days... they sound like Morgoth

[TheRippingCorpse]

@finalholocaust I would say they sound more like Autopsy...

[UlverBr]

@finalholocaust Yeah, indeed!

[Simson91]

who needs guitar solo?

[lalacfi]

Bathory is the best ! Darkthrone is good, but where is the guitar solo ?

[neckneti]

I just realised.. I have the exact same guitar as nuctorno uses in this video!

[Possesssed666]

Man I love the fucking raw production. when I first put this one I was thinking holy shit this is terrible man hahaha and I havent really listened to the preparing for war set ever since but just recently I picked it up again and It fucking kicks ass!

[Wayavas1337]

This is great stuff, just an introduction to everything that Darkthrone was going to be

[hypocrisy7]

ohh yes , Hails to norwegian b.m, but there are some nice bands from states too, check absu. but, no other country will sounds like norway, its pure dark and unholy!!!! hail

[Doedheimsgard]

LOL @ the camera-man 00:41

[krityx]

darkthrone so fucking rules.

[pimpsa91]

it is a great album

[lepworship]

the soulside journey album fucking rules!!!!! those were the days! fuck off to all the nowadays children playing crappy black death metal! fuck off to all modern black metal bands!!!

[jfuck213]

yup only soulside journey and panzerfaust are there only decent albulms the rest are not so good

[InsomniusPFA]

creamed myself

darkthrone before all the bullshit...what the fuck happened to "Darkthrone plays Unholy Black Metal Exclusively"???

[sebainstitutano666]

una reliquia

[PallidoSoleInvitto]

@ Proteinbamse

They played live in Norway, Denmark and Finland, but I dont remember exactly the dates of the performances, by the way I'm sure that they played in Denmark and Finland in 1991 (Finland: Riihimaki and Lahti).

And for the last time in Oslo, 1996

Take a look to the Misanthrope's DVD: in the Extras there are 3 songs live from the early years, they played Archipelago, Eon and Thulcandra (maybe in Norway)

[PallidoSoleInvitto]

Only few american Black Metal bands should be remembered, Judas Iscariot in primis, than Krieg, Weltmacht, I Shalt Become, Birkenau.. Actually I don't really like american Black Metal at all, but those bands are great

[ihateemosafuckinglot]

I personally don't think it matters where you popped out of a vigina.

There is black metal everywhere that sucks. There is black metal everywhere that is also impressive.

[gamerfreak666]

Judas Iscariot fucking rules man in my opinion only American BM band worth listening to

[andyby]

I think norwegian BM has a unique sound which I've never heard in a BM song from anoher country since I started listening to BM! And imo, american metal usually sucks. It's usually either thrash metal or this other genre I can't remember the name of atm (Same as Linkin Park etc).

[gamerfreak666]

Nu-metal you mean? yeah i cant stand linken park i like most black metal and Judas Iscariot is a good BM band though american

[andyby]

Exactly, it was nu-metal. And I was a little tired when I wrote my first comment, so just to cleare some things up. It's not like there's no good american metal, it's just that allmost all american metal I've heard sounds pretty much the same, and as said is either nu-metal or thrash metal mixed up with the genre it's supposed to be. But I'm sure there is lots of greate american metal out there I've never heard!

[trorjagkanske]

Judas Iscariot is the only good american blackmetal band, but he did not like america either

[That667Guy]

Havohej and Rituals of a Blasphemer aren't bad

[zoskiakvltis]

we need another... AMERICAN black metal revolution... like what happened in norway! with the church burnings... and the reason satyricon is banned from london...

bring BM back to the roots... and take down christianity!

[gorlumb]

i agree

[sounirvalice1]

you cant because christianity is hypocritical and in turn genuine satanism

[ecepticemia]

de legendarische band maar dat bestaan eenvoudig het beste

[DamnGod666]

well u can also get these vids only in better quality if u buy darkthrone-prepairing for war boced set like i did . if u are a real die hard black metal fan u need tht release

[proteinbamse]

okay:D

[proteinbamse]

Darkthrone has never performed live. the vocalist in Darkthrone said they had got many offers to play live but they said no. so this video must be the 1 time performing live and last!?!

[rappioalkoholisti]

gowno prawda!

false! :D

[ak47forever]

Lol...no...they stopped performing live at around 1996.

[Tranquilgardenhose]

Fikk de aire på den tida da?

[616hammer]

exelent the past

[darkdanu89]

Man, like this is Darkthrone in the beginning, great band, both then and now!

Btw I had one year when they were playing this :D Too bad in my country we couldn't have Oslo TV and I couldn't see it then :P

[arnez88]

i got this song on one of their first demos, rare and orginal gold :D

[iommy]

Excelente!!!

:D

[ShnytMuy3]

SStttoooppeeedd :) this rly sucks.. stating my opinion..

[TetraLuna]

Die!

[Luffyone]

fag

[chezzrok]

This shit fukin' rips!!! this was not listed on soulside journey right!? Anyone know where this can be found!? CD, name of the song etc..THANX..STAY EVIL

ALPHA FUKERS!!!

[KonungurAfPina]

Eon is the last song on soulside journey.

[TheHessian]

A gem from the early years, that was cool, thanks for posting hermordr!

[666slayer]

reminds me of autopsy

[metalkev00]

They sound like Morgoth to me

[Galenskapt]

Both bands, Mogoth and Darkthrone, were started in 87, and they released their first demos at the same time, 88, so I guess it's just a coincidence ;)

[metalkev00]

Touche my friend, touche.

[hauntingthechapel138]

goddamn this is amazing, i wish they woulda stayed technical death metal instead of throwing away their talent. i mean i like their black metal stuff but they had so much talent!

[quardt10]

sad the sound is so bad.. i like darkthrones dm album

[jon666poop]

they had a big doom metal edge as welll

[RICARDEATH]

I said more thrash/death than pure death metal in those early days of the once young band, Darkthrone.

Good... by the way... The essence of the once underground sound... near to old Therion, old Cadaver, old Carbonized

[anusdei9]

the first record darkthrone have made is 1000 percent pure oldschool deathmetal.anyone who want to deny this fact is stupid useless deaf teenaged motherfucking idiot.

[ojciecHenryk]

Agreed

[Angeldust6668]

HAIL DARKTHRONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZBELSURDOS]

TRUE Death Metal.

[captainelsewhere]

It's not death metal, it's black metal. Death metal is just pretension and sound.  there's something much deeper about black metal.

[ZBELSURDOS]

I know really good what BM is. But I was referring mostly at sound. I didn't found (yet)a group of DM who can do such good sound as this.

H a i l D A R K T H R O N E !

[captainelsewhere]

OKay, thanks for clarifying. Hail indeed.

[Arcturo766]

fuckin incredible musicians, they never wimped out either, Darkthrone rule

[AbyssmalNecromancy]

thank you walker. I couldnt put each one, as i wasnt thinking of it all, but look it up on Metal Archives and it will show you near everything.

[Shorteus]

Great Death Metal from an Awesome Black Metal band

[AbyssmalNecromancy]

Reference Point : every Norwegian Black Metal band started as Death Metal, most changed their names. Phobia became Enslaved, Darkthrone changed Styles, Old Funeral split which led to Burzum and Immortal, Immortals first demo was DM, right after they had changed their name from Amputation. Emperor was Embryonic, which developed into Thou Shalt Suffer. thats all i got off the top of my head. Great video though

[BlaqkFrozste666]

You are wrong. Not all Norwegian Black Metal started as Death metal.... thats just a generalization... loser

[bertywalker]

He's pretty much entirely right for the 1st generation of Norwegian Black Metal you know... looks like your dream has been shattered. Unless you count Dimmu Borgir as 1st generation of Norwegian Black Metal or even Black Metal for that matter (same goes for Enslaved and all Viking metal horseshit).

[jesseistheman44]

it sucks that they dont play live anymore, id kill to see them.

[helvetebas]

now nice song

[supernautb]

They used to play live late 80's/early 90's.

[BlackvisionsOfWinter]

I thought darkthrone never play live... :S

[whiteliner]

Historic!

[Wigrid]

Cromleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!! A legendary band, great memories from they're early death metal days.

[raphaelfnpereira]

Live in 89/90 raridade...oh fuck......

isso é que é black metal porraaaa.....

[Dueem]

...and now please someone build me a timemachine so I could see that live.

[NazareneDecomposing]

yes!

[carlinhaethiago]

I LOVE DARKTHRONE!

[o0oprickyo0o]

they fuck asses? lol

[NorvegianBlackMetal]

They fuck asses !! \m/ never seen this video , ever. Yu don`t see them very often performing live. Great dude, thanks for the video \m/ \m/

[apektnjulius]

they stopped performing live in 1996..

[KyleHegg]

Why?

[apektnjulius]

no one really knows.. fenriz somehow doesnt want to play live..

[CodyRicheson]

I still find it strange how they went from this experimental death metal sound to pure black metal. It's a real treat to see them performing at all.

[Nekraz]

@CodyRicheson: Not at ALL. They got sick of the soulessnes of death metal. Then they met Euronymous and have played black metal ever since ;) (Think its like this, cant be certain though)

[CodyRicheson]

Well, I have read that there was this growing attitude of disinterest in the death metal scene--Immortal and Burzum started out as death metal as well in the beginning. I just find this sudden shift in attitude curious.

[Nekraz]

Like I said, with another formulation: Death Metal got boring in the length. Souless. However, I do like Death Metal'Darkthrone. Not too much of it though ;)

[apektnjulius]

immortal and burzum death metal? you mean old funeral?

[Tormentor777]

Burzum i don't know, but immortal started as a death metal band (the band was called amputation) but then they enter into the black metal thanks to euronymous

[apektnjulius]

ok.. old funeral was immortal(abbath and demonaz) with burzum:P

[H0RDAN]

They hate this album - but if they would've stuck together they could have been the greatest metal band of all time - I loved it, and still appreciate the new, raw, in your face that Darkthrone stands for - but to me they've lost their innovation - A rare treat though - thanks! OH, and FENRIZ is the fuckin' bomb -his drumming is NOTHING EASY!!!

[azreal66]

norway is black metal it self,and what a video for the unholy darkthrone!!!this band is pure black-grimmnes-frost metal!!

[thormeister]

Love this song! All of Soulside Journey is pure genius! And easy to play :-)

[lilithbehemoth22]

Norway rocks!!Darkthrone rocks 2!!xD

[KanonSama]

Isso aí

Black Metal verdadeiro

[kosmatron]

ave satan's poetry

[astrosim]

I remember watching the show back in the day.

lol,I miss bootleg-tv.

[FinnDS]

Awesome! I heard this is included on the DVD on the new release of "Preparing for War". Just hope the quality is a little better - doesn't need to be that much better, but since it is an official TV recording, I guess it will be better. Will be receiving the new release soon - can't wait! In the meantime I'll enjoy this. Kickass!

[phrodejo]

Dead funny, this clip is from TV-Norway sub channel "Bootleg". The old club located in Oslo. Me and 3 friends was there at this consert. Sorry Ted Ivar, but Gylve's got a far better vocal.

[dilsen4]

WOW! I envy you!.. You've seen them live!

Why wasn't I born about 15 tears earlier?!

[Shorteus]

I agree with you 120 fucking percent.
