Arctic Thunder is the latest (edit: it's 2019 now...) release from crusty black metal behemoths Darkthrone, which marks a colossal (and as if "as one" with the cover art, an entirely warming) return to form from the Norwegian legends. I understand that a lot of people enjoyed The Underground Resistance, but the overuse of the King Diamond worship turned the whole thing into a bit of a parody, for me at least. There is a welcome absence of ridiculous wailing on Arctic Thunder, and that alone launches it on the correct trajectory.
