Darkthrone - Panzerfaust (1995) [Reissue 2015]

The band's name was inspired by a Danish zine from around 1985/86 called Blackthorn, written by the guys from the Danish band DesExult, as well as by the lyrics of the Celtic Frost song "Jewel Throne" (I'm the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind/.../ As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity).
Darkthrone are known for the fact that there have only been very few live appearances for various reasons. The very last concert to date took place in 1996, being a one-off event as well.
According to the December 2007 issue of Decibel Magazine, the band's logo was designed by Tomas Lindberg of At the Gates. This was confirmed by Lindberg himself in a 2014 interview with the MetalSucks Podcast.
