New Darkthrone is kickass. I really liked The Underground Resistance but this sounds even better. I'm glad they came back to their Black Metal Punk sound.

Oh shit, new Wormrot, Wardruna and Suma, I need to listen to all that asap. And I've been in a huge Urfaust binge so I think i'll really enjoy their new stuff.
