About this album
Darkthrone’s previous album, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, retained some death metal traits. However, in an interview, Fenriz claimed that they began recording Under a Funeral Moon with the intention of creating a “pure black metal album.” For this purpose, the studio production was toned-down to achieve an atmosphere that was more “cold” and “grim”. Fenriz regards the album and its recording as the foundation for Darkthrone’s later work.
Under a Funeral Moon is the last album on which guitarist Zephyrous (Ivar Enger) performs, as he left the band shortly after its release. The person who appears on the cover artwork is vocalist Nocturno Culto.
The album was remastered and reissued by Peaceville in 2003, as well as being repackaged in a cardboard digipak. In addition to CD, this album was released by Back on Black in the form of a limited edition (2000 copies) picture disc LP. The third chapter of a four-part video interview (spanning the first four albums) between Fenriz and Nocturno Culto was also included as bonus material.

Their best album

This album legitimately frightened me that first time I listened to it six years ago. I can only describe it as ethereally raw and ghastly music.

A bit weaker than A Blaze In The Northern Sky, still a black metal classic though.

Favorite Darkthrone album.

Even though it is Black Metal, the sound quality could be better. I prefer A Blaze in the Northern Sky and Transilvanian Hunger

tied up between this and transilvanian hunger. the vocals on this album are great. under a funeral moon has more variation but transilvanian hunger has got the riffs.

I don't know where you get the opinion that Panzerfaust is dramatically different than Transilvanian Hunger. Yes, it's not as minimal or infatuated with repeating the same riff and over and over, but in nature it's a mix between TH and Hellhammer/early Celtic Frost. Either way, the riffs on this album are infinitely superior to those found on Transilvanian Hunger, or just about any other black metal album- aside from A Blaze. Black metal doesn't get any more epic or intoxicating than To Walk the Infernal Fields. Respect.

The riffs here people , the atmospere compared to the static trash lo-fi so called grim bullshit on Transilvanian Hunger . I consider TH to be a shame in Darkthrone's masterful early discography . I'm glad they got their priorities straight on Panzerfaust

Darkthrone's best . 2nd Wave Norwegian Black Metal at its purest and strongest right on this album !!!
