Darkthrone share date for new record 'Astral Fortress'

Norwegian black metal stalwarts Darkthrone have been hard at work on their next outing, and as the band shared through social media, the next chapter has been written. Astral Fortress will arrive on October 28 via Peaceville Records.

Fenriz comments:

"As usual, Ted [Nocturno Culto] makes music by playing himself and riffs just come to me. I think since 2016's Arctic Thunder, we have mostly been inspired by our own back catalogue. I can hear many of my riffs eventually sounding like a plethora of bands but this seldom seems to correlate with what others hear. As you'll know by now I never talk about the lyrics or the inspiration behind them and I would never want any lyrics that I like of others to be explained to me but I will tell you this, it is darker than ever, it is seething with hell."
