Gli storici Darkthrone hanno annunciato, tramite un post sulla loro pagina Facebook, titolo e artwork del nuovo album. Il lavoro, chiamato Arctic Thunder, sarà “più serio e primitivo del solito” e cantato esclusivamente da Nocturno Culto. Di seguito il comunicato di Fenriz e l’artwork:
“Hi folks, it’s time to talk a bit about our new album – and as I don’t like to talk or write about music much I can say that it is more serious and primitive than usual. Vocals are only done by Ted as I thought this would create a more solemn/introvert atmosphere. The album is called ARCTIC THUNDER because it is my fave bandname (old mega-obscure Norwegian band from the 80s that I asked the permission from to use as an album title). Meanwhile here is the cover, it is from the personal camping archives from a trip some years ago to SPÅLSBERGET in Nordmarka. IT has the usual spruce-tree skyline and also a bonfire – there will be another limited colour version with orange logo and title, because that was MY favourite colour, but the usual release looks like this in silver – as this was Ted’s favourite version.”
