Since their inception in the late eighties, the band have carved out their own unique place in Metal legend. After their early foray into the world consciousness with \u003cem\u003eSoulside Journey\u003c\/em\u003e they delivered the unholy trinity of \u003cem\u003eA Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon and Transylvanian Hunger. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCensorship and heavy handed political correctness forced the band from Peaceville and they made a succession of albums for the fledgling Moonfog label. Something was always missing from this equation though, and soon the band members yearned to go home and made it clear. The only thing that stood between us was a contract, written in Norwegian and signed in blood. However, time heals all wounds, and as soon as the band became free they planned their return to the forefront of the Metal existence with Peaceville.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cult Is Alive \u003c\/em\u003eis the fetid, rotting, rocking first fruits of Darkthrone's second coming at Peaceville, originally released in 2006. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Peaceville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62754529444227,"sku":"VILELP1431","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-06at15.23.08.png?v=1791296604","url":"https:\/\/beartreerecords.com\/products\/darkthrone-the-cult-is-alive-lp","provider":"Bear Tree Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
