Darkthrone: Plaguewielder

I'm currently digging into my Darkthrone collection in search of that personal favourite release & it turned out to be one of the band's unenchanted release, Plaguewielder. The typical black metal fan out there would cite Darkthrone's holy 3- A Blaze in the Northern Sky/ Under a Funeral Moon/ Transilvanian Hunger- to be the conclusive releases if one embraces all things Darkthrone but followers of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto would know the duo's cyclical occupation so these 3 releases are indeed authoritative but not conclusive. The band started out as a death metal act after all & the current releases being punk-tinged are proof enough.
