Yeah, but that Darkthrone album is not straight up Norway Black Metal. It is straight up try hard Swedish Death Metal by a band who is from Norway.

Well, it's not that I hate the Mayhem, album. I own it and was listening to it just last night and digging it. I just have a problem taking it entirely seriously. It's sorta like the old black and white Dracula with Bela Lugosi. It has this wierd unpolished sorta creepiness, but the, at times, cheesy atmosphere, rubber bats on strings, and Bela Lugosi's outrageous accent (yes I know it's a real accent, but it's still outrageous), while adding to the overall atmosphere of the movie, also make it laughable today. So, to sum it up, the same elements that make De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas creepy and wierd and disturbing, also undermine my ability to supend my disbelief.

Ok have listened to both and the Darkthrone album is a solid album but as said comes across as an attempt to cash in on the Swedish scene, I`d actually rather listen to Entombed, Unleashed, Grave and Dismember if I want that sound. The Mayhem album again is good but not a classic and as Batlord has said, it has a horror B-movie 1930s/1940s low budget feel. On a music level I`d say the Darkthrone album was better but as a huge Universal horror movie fan (I have the box set with the models of Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney Jnr) I have to give it to Mayhem for the feel of the album. Also how many albums are surrounded with both a murder and a suicide.

Have been listening to some more of Darkthrone`s discography and their second album A Blaze in the Northern Sky is an ok album, its basically still a death metal band doing black metal. But the album Under a Funeral Moon is the biz and easily one of the best black metal albums I`ve heard (admittedly I haven`t heard that many) Just listened to Transilvanian Hunger and its evil, but I`m still undecided if it reaches the heights of Under a Funeral Moon.

lol @ Alanis.
I do not know, but I imagine Darkthrone can at least define irony.
