In a move that will send shivers down the spines of devoted metalheads everywhere, Peaceville Records has unveiled a limited edition marble vinyl pressing of Darkthrone’s 2006 masterpiece, 'The Cult Is Alive.' This anniversary release not only honors the album's legacy but also includes a limited cassette tape version for those who still hold onto the true analog spirit of metal.

After a series of albums under the Moonfog label that spanned the mid to late '90s, Darkthrone made their triumphant return to Peaceville, marking a significant chapter in their storied history. The 2006 release was not just an album; it was a declaration of independence, conceived in their own studio, Necrohell 2, where the duo could unleash their raw creativity without compromise. This freedom resulted in a sound that embraced punk influences, igniting a new era for the band.

Fans were first introduced to this reinvigorated sound through the blistering lead track, “Too Old, Too Cold.” With its relentless energy and unapologetic attitude, the song served as a harbinger for what was to come, effectively melting the boundaries of genre and expectation.

The limited edition release features stunning cover artwork crafted by Kim Sølve, encapsulating the dark and rebellious spirit of the album. Each vinyl and cassette is a testament to the enduring legacy of Darkthrone and their indomitable spirit in the face of an ever-changing musical landscape.

For those eager to grab a piece of this metal history, the special 20th anniversary edition is available for order now. Don't sleep on this chance to own a slice of black metal heritage, as these limited pressings won't last long.
