"Circle the Wagons," released in 2010, is Darkthrone's tribute to the raw, unfiltered essence of classic metal and punk, while still firmly rooted in their black metal origins. This album showcases a lo-fi aesthetic that fans have come to expect from the band, yet it also embraces a more punk-inspired vibe. Opening with "Those Treasures Will Never Fade," the album sets a gritty tone with catchy riffs and an infectious energy. The dual vocals of Nocturno Culto and Fenriz add a layer of intensity, blending harshness with a sense of camaraderie. Tracks like "Llfd" and "Hate is the Law" exemplify the band's signature sound, mixing heavy guitar work with a relentless rhythm that keeps the listener engaged.
