Yeah they gave a pretty good fair warning with Nostradamus,and your right about the travisty of 1986....oh what a terrible year it was haha!!

I was really looking forwards to this new Darkthrone album,and I listened to all of it,needless to say I will NOT be buying this album. I know what your talking about when bands go mainstream too,Darkthrone didn't go mainstream but they altered and totally changed thier style since the last album 'Dark Thrones And Black Flags" from 2008. So much to the point that its not Darkthrone anymore.
Judas Priest did this to me with Nostradamus too,I know there are those who like it,but to me its not "Judas Priest" at all,its the members of Judas Priest doing another style of music alltogether.This is what Darkthrone has become and its "SAD" to tell you the truth.I wasn't really "thrilled" with the new Immortal album but at least they didn't go overboard with it,it still sounds like Immortal but just not to my likings,the album is ok but its not one of Immortal's best records.
Maybe the next one will be better.As for Darkthrone,thier set on this new style and sound so I've dug a hole and buried them as of today,I don't think they will go back to their kick ass sound and style,I believe they are finished. The best album that has recently come out(Feb.2009) is the new "ABSU" album self titled.This new album is absolutely excellent.
But yeah I do hate it when bands drop thier sound and style jump ship and go in another direction. I'm not one of these people that trick themselves into liking something like.."oh give it another try/listen in a couple months it might grow on you"...it doesn't work for me,either I like it or hate it first listen,like Nostradamus album...the day I heard the whole album I instantly hated it,and still do,maybe even more now. Same will be this new Darkthrone album,I will never like it. Oh well,as I said I still have the great new Absu album to hold me over untill the next great record I hear...hopefully it will be a Judas Priest album!!

Well,I just heard the entire album "Circle The Wagons" (2010) by one of my long-time fav.bands "Darkthrone" and sadly I have to say and admit that it is the worst Darkthrone album to date!! I know that Nocturno and Fenriz diviate from the rest of the wanna-be black metal scene and changing styles is what they are about these days but fuckin a,what I'm hearing is anything but 'Darkthrone".
They call thier new style black heavy metal punk but it doesn't sound anything like it.Thier last 2 albums 2008 Dark Thrones And Black Flags and 2007's "F.O.A.D." sounded like black heavy metal punk but this new album is ridiculous in my ears,the "singing" is absolutely horrible and too un-Darkthrone-like.
I think they have gone too far the other way.I was really looking forwards to this new release only to discover this once great band is now 'dead". (SIGH). So much for one of my favorite bands,not any more.
