Darkthrone, having given fans a taster of their new studio album Old Star with the Fenriz penned, “The Hardship Of The Scots”, the band have revealed a second new song to make the wait until release day just a little bit more bearable! The animated clip also features a new fate from Old Star album cover artist Chadwick Saint John (https://www.inkshadows.com/)
Ted “Nocturno Culto” Skjellum comments
“’Duke Of Gloat’ was the first I wrote for this album. I like my metal black, with a dose of heavy. Now with Old Star coming your way let me wish you all a sore neck!”
Fenriz, speaking to Loudwire about the song cryptically said
“I feel that the words and titles are everyone’s property and they can analyse or feel it as they want. I will lead no way here! But when you see the lyrics you will know that it is probably not about a specific person (certainly not Newman from Seinfeld) but perhaps more of a fate or entity even.”
DUKE OF GLOAT
Written: Ted Skjellum, Gylve Fenris Nagell
Published by: Vile Music
Too old to wring the secret from the master
The well you encountered as a child
Merely acknowledging the beacon now
And now you are not well any longer
So this is the pact of the gloat
Double hell for all
All to repair and one to watch
No freedom in these domains
Hail the satan
Sinister duke of gloat
Wrap up the wretched fates
Intriguing eternal laughter
Encyclopedias
Of endless futile life toils
Shrapnel wounds
From shattered inner gargoyles
So this is the pact of the gloat
Brave beating hearts, But
All must repair while one beholds
No freedom in these domains
