Soulside Journey

Soulside Journey was Darkthrone's debut studio album after signing with Peaceville Records, following their cult Cromlech demo. It was recorded in 1990 at Sunlight Studios in Sweden with Tomas Skogsberg, notable for his work with Entombed and many other acts over the years. Soulside Journey contained tracks of atmospheric and often technical and complex death metal, with influences ranging from acts such as Autopsy and Death. This was the band's only death metal album before turning to a more primitive black metal style, but is still rightly regarded as a masterpiece of the genre.
