DARKTHRONE's FENRIZ Presents 'The Best Of Old School Black Metal'
August 19, 2004Snapper Music has set a September 20 release date for "The Best Of Old School Black Metal", a compilation consisting of "the most influential and most unholy sounding tracks" of the black metal genre as selected by DARKTHRONE's Fenriz.
"Cult heroes such as SARCOFAGO and TORMENTOR lurk amongst tracks from originators VENOM and BATHORY," according to a posting on the Snapper web site. "The second wave of black metal is well represented by BURZUM, MAYHEM and SAMAEL, whilst the inclusion of AURA NOIR and NATTEFROST, the latest exponents of quality black metal, make this a collection that no fan of ferocious metal should be without."
Fenriz personally selected all these tracks, and the accompanying booklet features extensive notes giving his insight into each song, its relevance to him and its impact on the scene.
