Originally forming under the name Black Death in 1986, Darkthrone have risen over four decades to become one of Norway's most revered metal institutions. From the death/doom technicality of their 1991 debut Soulside Journey, through their pivotal role in defining the early '90s second wave of black metal, and onward into punk-infused and doom-laden territory, Darkthrone's evolution has been both uncompromising and influential. To commemorate 40 years of Darkthrone, Peaceville Records will release a limited deluxe 10-disc box set titled The Fist In The Face Of God on March 6, 2026. The box set focuses squarely on Darkthrone's pure black metal era, compiling nine essential albums spanning their most influential period. A selection of posters and art prints, showcasing classic band photography and artworkWith The Fist In The Face Of God, Darkthrone and Peaceville deliver a monumental tribute to one of black metal's most vital legacies.
