‘Under A Funeral Moon’, Darkthrone's third album, was originally released by Peaceville in 1993. The album is a bleak reflection of contemporary times, featuring harsh guitar riffage and hateful vocals in what was the band’s first 100% pure black metal opus; a work completely stripped of the death metal traces of former releases & in it’s place, a stark & primitive execution. This was aided by an intentionally lo-fi sound that is powerfully cold and entirely unconcerned with any modern-day aesthetics. ‘Under A Funeral Moon’ is the album that many Darkthrone fans hail as the ultimate manifesto for Black Metal.

This edition of ‘Under A Funeral Moon’ marks 20 years since the release of this landmark album, & contains a bonus commentary, recorded in 2013, featuring Fenriz discussing his recollections, inspirations & thoughts on the album whilst the music plays in the background.

Peaceville Records is a British independent metal-oriented record label founded in Dewsbury, England in 1987 - artists over the years include Katatonia, Darkthrone, Paradise Lost, Opeth, Cradle Of Filth, My Dying Bride and Anathema
