New Album It Beckons Us All Out Now

Ahead of the eagerly awaited new album It Beckons Us All from DARKTHRONE , the band give fans a final tease of what is awaiting them with the release of the official video for "The Bird People Of Nordland". Video created by Matthew Vickerstaff.

WATCH THE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "THE BIRD PEOPLE OF NORDLAND" BELOW

Whilst freely admitting the concept for the song "Not a very metal subject, sorry!" Fenriz explains " it's about the EIDER bird and Nordland. Many years ago I saw a Norwegian documentary with the symbiotic relationship the coast people of Nordland had with the bird. They watched over the nests and in return could pick the eider for pillows clothing, warmth etc. So that is what the lyrics are about." But, he continues "again, this is Ted's song so a bit hard for me to comment on it musically but I will tell you all what I think when I hear it:

First of we have a typical grim Ted riff for the verse, then he surprises with a catchy riff for the refrain AND THEN comes my fave part of the album; the post-refrain riff which sounds like QUEENSRYCHE 1984 style and you can also hear how much we enjoy to play it! EXACTLY where I want to be! Could have played that riff for 8 minutes straight, haha! This loops again with the refrain again without singing and then back to QUEENSRYCHE '84. Then first riff again with my added harmony guitar playing on it, what our studio man Ole Ovstedal called "the Corleone part".

A break arrives and then things are sped up (not faster than YARDBIRDS in 64, we are not an extreme metal band, more like MODERAT EPIC) which corresponds with a slower heavy metal riff where we also brought out the mellotrone if I remember correctly.

Then Ted bombs you with a final part, primitive d-beat thrash with a riff that sounds like Tom G Warrior made it and I also ordered Ted to lay on some hellish guitars. Anyway, I LIVE for that queensryche 84 riff, Ted!"

Humble as ever Nocturno Culto states "Well, AGAIN, talking about our music really blows or is very difficult, at least for me. Personally, music is a floating thing, and I am having a hard time to try to break it down. Itīs metal, a bit of heavy/doom/black/thrash, that is DARKTHRONE now, mixing genres has been something we have done since A Blaze, and especially since 2005. And I am just looking forward on new material, new riffs and ideas."

Just one more sleep until It Beckons Us All, DARKTHRONE 's new masterpiece, is unleashed in full!
