THE REVIEW
The power of music knows no bounds…
Just two chords and a voice are enough to convey something that others with a thousand musical tricks couldn't achieve in a thousand years.
Music as a tool of dissent against everything and everyone: hypocricies of this society, hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, false moralism, indifference, ambition. All this is conveyed by Darkthrone in this album: just the cover and the singing on this album are enough to instill evil and sadness in each of us.
The drums sound like when you have a severe migraine, guitar plays erratically as if using a grater, demonic, raspy voice, deep... malevolent.
The misadventures and sadness of a lifetime wouldn't be enough to reach the level of these 40 minutes of music… emotions… negative emotions but still emotions… this CD makes you think about life… another side of life.
Listening to this CD makes you want to scream and send everything and everyone to hell, isolating yourself in complete solitude, carving out your own inner space to vent the anger and pain that this album oozes. Death and destruction… this is what you feel like doing after listening to this album.
This is music, emotion, instinct, nothing calculated… the perfect expression of an interiority in this case troubled… few bands in
all of music manage to express their message as Darkthrone have done… and at the end of the album… all melancholic and alone, one feels like saying: It could have been all different…

Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger uses minimalistic music to powerfully express anger, pain, and existential solitude. Its raw and chaotic sound embodies a deep dissent against societal hypocrisy and false morality. The album's bleak atmosphere creates an intense emotional experience, making it a defining work in black metal.

This is true Norwegian black metal!
Not having this CD is to miss out on something that you simply don’t hear anymore these days!
By thezed
Listening to this album in complete solitude I didn’t think about burning churches or killing someone, I simply thought about myself, no hate, no love, not even apathy, I simply traveled with my mind and that’s it.
This album has to be listened to at least once in a lifetime; some will discard it afterward, but others will discover a new path.
By Vehemens
Black Metal is not a genre like the others, it is truth.
Nocturno Culto’s guitar is colder and more chilling than the snow that settles on the peaks of the Norwegian forest pines.
