description Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon Overview
Under a Funeral Moon is Darkthrone's third studio album, released in 1993, and the middle entry in the band's early black metal trilogy. Performed by Fenriz, Nocturno Culto, and Zephyrous, it favors trebly guitars, rasped vocals, forceful drumming, and deliberately raw production over the clearer death metal sound of the group's debut. It is suited to listeners exploring austere, foundational recordings from Norway's second-wave black metal scene.
help Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon FAQ
Why does Under a Funeral Moon sound even rawer than A Blaze in the Northern Sky?
Darkthrone intentionally stripped away more of the death metal weight that remained on the previous album. The thin guitar tone, dry drums, and distant vocals give the 1993 record its deliberately cold and underproduced character.
Who played on Under a Funeral Moon?
The album was made by Nocturno Culto, Fenriz, and guitarist Zephyrous. It was the last Darkthrone studio album to feature Zephyrous before the band continued as the core duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.
Which tracks best represent Under a Funeral Moon?
Natassja in Eternal Sleep, Crossing the Triangle of Flames, and the title track are central examples of its fast, skeletal riffing. The album contains eight songs and avoids the more expansive death metal structures of Soulside Journey.
Is Under a Funeral Moon the middle album of Darkthrone's early trilogy?
Yes. It sits between A Blaze in the Northern Sky from 1992 and Transilvanian Hunger from 1994, forming the second part of the band's frequently cited black metal trilogy.
