Darkthrone - "Hate Cloak" (lyric video)
Were the gifts he hid
And wonderous benefits
Of golden dawns
Cornucopias of lingering
Spring showers
All this in the trench
Coat of Mariana
The fabric lies torn
Hate Cloak
Secrets hide in the linings
Of the hate cloak
Peering from beneath the layers
Fantasize your ghost
Invoke the drastic spells
Lifelong addicts of exile and gloom
The fabric lies torn
Hate Cloak
Secrets hide in the linings
Of the Hate Cloak
The fabric lies torn
Hate Cloak
Then you see a pile of worlds approaching
A new and fearsome light that makes you cry
You that sow your cloak of hate in darkness
Tread carefully, now it’s your time to fly
The moon and stars
The gifts he hid
And wonderous benefits of golden dawns
Cornucopias of lingering spring showers
All this in the trench coat of Mariana
(Eternal Hails!)
The fabric lies torn
Hate Cloak
Secrets hide in the linings
Of the hate cloak
Peering from beneath the layers
Fantasize your ghost
Invoke the drastic spells
Lifelong addicts of exile and gloom
«Five heavy dinosaurs looking in wonder and bewilderment at the stars» μας λέει ο Fenriz προετοιμάζοντας το έδαφος για τον καινούριο δίσκο των Darkthrone. Ο διάδοχος του album "Old Star" (2019) και 19ος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Νορβηγών metallers τιτλοφορείται "Eternal Hails......" κι αναμένεται στα τέλη του τρέχοντος μήνα. Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το lyric video του doomy τραγουδιού "Hate Cloak"...
Δελτίο τύπου: «The Norwegian black metal legends, show that within five tracks and 45 minutes on their 19th album, Eternal Hails, they remain defiantly and eternally Darkthrone.
Since forming in 1986 as Black Death in Kolboton, Norway, Darkthrone have been masters of their art. Dropping the death metal of 1991’s Soulside Journey debut album in favour of a more primitive, black metal sound on the following year’s A Blaze In The Northern Sky, they helped define black metal in the ‘90s through albums like 1993’s Under A Funeral Moon and its follow-up Transilvanian Hunger.
Truly, though, Darkthrone remain unique, even in their own canon. On Eternal Hails, the longer, doomier songs reflect drummer Fenriz’s love of doom, taking their time to make their point. For Fenriz, what he and co-conspirator Nocturno Culto have concocted stretches back even further than discovering black metal, to the sounds of the ‘70s and the more freewheeling sounds of bands playing with more expansive themes.
This didn’t just make the songs longer, it made them an entirely different beast from the ground up. This 9min 17 seconds, Fenriz penned, hallowed epic “Hate Cloak” is steeped in the majestic thunder of vintage heavy doom metal.
Fenriz comments “Hate Cloak is certainly the slowest song on the album, there are plenty of “fast" parts on Ted's songs, middle tempos and slow as well. The whole point of us having long songs is variation in tempos/pace, hence the epicness”.»
Peaceville Records: «With the highly revered Norwegians remaining ever-dedicated to the art of the riff after 35 years of existence, Darkthrone return for album number nineteen and a new dose of metallic godliness.
On the back of 2019’s triumphant ‘Old Star’ opus, the duo of Nocturno Culto & Fenriz present a 41 minute maelstrom of Epic Black Heavy Metal across five sprawling compositions. Organic and dynamic, the album is an exploration of the very finest vintage metal and the best of doom, all delivered in the unmistakable Darkthrone style, whilst also incorporating instruments such as the Moog to further expand upon these soundscapes.
Eschewing the process of using their own Necrohell II studios - which has served the band so well over the last 15 years - & welcoming a change of environment and the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, ‘Eternal Hails......’ was recorded at Chaka Khan Studio in Oslo, & engineered by Ole Ovstedal & Silje Høgevold, breathing new life into the sound while retaining the essence of Darkthrone’s natural, raw feeling.
The cover artwork features the piece “Pluto and Charon” (1972), from renowned science fiction artist David A. Hardy; a hugely inspirational image for both Fenriz & Nocturno Culto spanning several decades, and this also stands as a symbolic link between the genre-bending styles apparent on Darkthrone’s earliest works, to those same traits evident on ‘Eternal Hails......’.»
