The limited/numbered 180gm vinyl edition of 2000 comes with heavyweight sleeve and printed inner sleeve. Darkthrone are a legendary name in metal, inspiring countless bands throughout the years as one of the leaders of the Scandinavian black metal movement in the early 90's, alongside other greats such as Burzum, Immortal and Mayhem. Now, to welcome a new decade, the unrelenting Norwegian duo deliver a new feast of metal and punk. From their thrash and death beginnings to their ascension to the pantheon of black metal greats, Darkthrone have always refused to stand still. They continue to embrace and explore their roots and capture the real spirit of sonic greatness on CIRCLE THE WAGONS; recorded by the band themselves at Necrohell II studios. Darkthrone sail against the tides of trend and disposable metal; uncompromising and defiant as ever - an ideology expanded upon by Fenriz when explaining the meaning behind the title: The new metal decade starts with our album. It is a message to the Invaders of our metal domain to circle their wagons!!!
