Mit der ersten und einzigen Auskopplung `Black Dawn Affiliation´ trommeln die True Norwegian Black Metal Veteranen DARKTHRONE für ihr neues Stuidoalbum „It Beckons Us All“, das bereits am 26. April auf den Markt kommen wird.

Fenriz kommentiert die Entstehung des Songs:

„Nocturno Culto sculpted BLACK DAWN AFFILIATION and as much as I writhe in woe trying to describe riffs I did not make, we are certainly rocking hard and dark around a dungeon of slow Kreator 1986-era riffs (think Awakening Of The Gods or Take Their Lives from the FLAG OF HATE 12“). „

Nocturno Culto fügt hinzu:

“It is not easy to describe the music you make, but for sure I will try…it´s heavy! Everything worked out as I hoped for this track. Some things are just forged in the studio, like as Fenriz´s excellent vocals at the end of the song; and the choir I wanted. Instead of just taking shortcuts, Fenriz and I recorded three vocal tracks each, and it was brilliantly mixed by Silje at Chaka Khan. There are many things one can say about riffs, but I make songs from a combination of a very methodical approach and happy accidents! And somewhere in the back of my head, it´s most likely there is something affecting a lot of my decisions on little details that shapes the riffing.”
