1360 - Darkthrone In the Shadow of the Horns 1992

One of the seminal releases of the infamous second wave of black metal, "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" serves as a stepping stone for Darkthrone to their own particular niche in black metal. "In the shadow of the horns" is an absolutely stunning song, invoking what many bands try to capture: pure evil. From the horrifying howl of the guitars at the beginning, to the almost Punk-like gallop of the bridge, the song pulverizes everything in its path.
