Darkthrone news anyone? it seems we will go to the necrohell 2 studios to record something for the upcoming album already 9 days from now a.k.a next weekend. also, there has been some great lyrics for black metal recently. the song SYNDEBUKKEN by THE DEATHTRIP was great for sure but it seems the entire lyrics for the new ISVIND album "gud" is spectaculare.
