DARKTHRONE 'SOULSIDE JOURNEY' 35TH ANNIVERSARY LP (Corona Vinyl)

LABEL: Peaceville
RELEASE DATE: 11/06/2026
VARIANT: Corona Vinyl LP

SPECIAL LIMITED CORONA VINYL PRESSING MARKING 35 YEARS OF DARKTHRONE’S SUBLIME 1991 DEBUT OF MELODIC & TECHNICAL DEATH METAL,

INCLUDING REMASTERED AUDIO FROM PATRICK ENGEL.

Darkthrone began in the late 80’s as a metal act including influences of many styles including thrash/death metal & progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world & one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene, as well as inspiring a whole generation of metal bands.

‘Soulside Journey’ was Darkthrone’s debut studio album after signing with Peaceville Records, following their cult ‘Cromlech’ demo. It was recorded in 1990 at Sunlight Studios in Sweden with Tomas Skogsberg, notable for his work with Entombed & many other acts over the years. ‘Soulside Journey’ contained tracks of atmospheric & often technical & complex death metal, taking elements of bands such as Autopsy, among numerous others, & crafting a sound all of their own. This was the band’s only death metal album before turning to a more primitive black metal style, but is still rightly regarded as a masterpiece of the genre.

This special 35th anniversary edition is presented on limited black/blue corona vinyl. The release features an audio remaster courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, with layout replicating the 1991 original.
