A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Darkthrone's second album, was originally released in 1992 and was without question a significant blueprint for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second-wave movement in Norway and beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following the band's more Death Metal orientated debut, Soulside Journey.

"Darkthrone plays unholy black metal exclusively." The iconic cover image is set in a special cut-out sleeve. 180g heavyweight vinyl in a single jacket sleeve with printed inner sleeve and not numbered.

Recorded in Creative Studios, August 1991.
