DARKTHRONE’S ‘CIRCLE THE WAGONS’ OUT NOW

“The new metal decade starts with our album,” explains Darkthrone drummer/lyricist, Fenriz. “It is a message to the invaders of our metal domain to circle their wagons! With our own brand of heavy metal/speed metal-punk we are a constant ambush on the modern overground metal traitors. Join us in our fight against instant gratification, and let's see who stands when the smoke clears.”
Circle the Wagons was self-recorded at Necrohell II Studios.
The track list for Circle the Wagons is…
Side A
1. Those Treasures Will Never Befall You
2. Running for Borders

Artwork for the album comes, once again, courtesy of Dennis Dread, notable for his talents on previous Darkthrone albums, 2007's F.O.A.D and 2008’s Dark Thrones and Black Flags.
A mini-site, containing exclusive audio samples, album info, and more can be viewed at www.peaceville.com/darkthrone/circlethewagons/.
Fans that sign up for the Darkthrone mailing list at: http://www.burningshed.com/store/peaceville/freedownload/24/ will receive a free download of the track “Eyes Burst At Dawn”, while a streaming version of the song can be found at: http://stereogum.com/313582/haunting-the-chapel-no-9/franchises/haunting-the-chapel/.
From their thrash and death beginnings to their ascension to the pantheon of black metal greats, Darkthrone has 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.
Darkthrone’s drummer/vocalist, Fenriz, can also be seen in the black metal documentary, “Until the Light Takes Us”, a film that takes viewers behind the scenes of the complex and largely misunderstood black metal movement that swept across Norway in the mid-nineties. “Until the Light Takes Us” is currently showing in independent theaters across North America and Europe.
