AN EPIC 9-LP DELUXE COLLECTOR’S BOXSET MARKING 40 YEARS OF THE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL LEGENDS, WITH FRESH AUDIO MASTERS.

INCLUDING 48-PAGE BOOK & DVD WITH EXCLUSIVE NEWLY RECORDED CAREER INTERVIEW.

​

Initially forming under the moniker of Black Death back in 1986, the star of Darkthrone has ascended with reverence & a degree of infamy over the course of four decades, to become one of the most notable metal bands to have emerged from Norway. Highly inspirational to a whole generation of bands, & also uncompromisingly steadfast throughout their now extensive catalogue, the long-standing duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto have remained dedicated to the art of the riff & forging their own path, relentlessly steering the band against the tide of trend. 

Celebrating four decades of existence, this limited deluxe mammoth 10 disc boxset is out now.

The Beyond the Gates music festival 2026 promises to be an unforgettable experience featuring renowned artists as Emperor, 1349, Arcturus and emerging talent from the music scene. With a diverse lineup, attendees can enjoy a wide range of experiences. In addition to live performances the event will include social areas, interactive art, and gastronomy creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Get ready to create amazing memories and celebrate music and culture at this exciting festival!

Given EMPEROR’s status and popularity, it may then come as a surprise to some that this legendary band was a side-project of the Norwegian duo. This is especially true given that, at the time that EMPEROR was established, Samoth and Ihsahn’s main band was THOU SHALT SUFFER.

​

Darkness Shall Rise is very proud to present this re-release, which features the three recordings that THOU SHALT SUFFER had released during their short lifespan.

​
