Recorded during the period spanning their landmark releases \u003cem\u003eSoulside Journey\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGoatlord\u003c\/em\u003e, this performance preserves Darkthrone at a crucial juncture, before their rapid pivot toward black metal would reshape their trajectory entirely. The setlist reflects a band operating at full throttle through their debut's material, capturing the visceral energy of their formative aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe performance navigates through standout cuts including \"Cromlech,\" \"Soulside Journey,\" and the instrumental rendition of \"Possessed,\" each delivered with the grinding, distortion-heavy approach that characterized their early vision. \"Hearses,\" \"Nor The Silent Whispers,\" and \"Iconoclasm Sweeps Cappadocia\" round out the set with similarly uncompromising sonic density. What distinguishes this document is its unvarnished capture of the band's live dynamic—no studio sheen, just the pure mechanics of their death metal craft rendered through a 1990 venue's PA system. The recording preserves the murky, abrasive atmosphere that defined their studio recordings, making this a legitimate historical artifact rather than a polished retrospective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Record Store Day pressing arrives as a 180-gram petrol blue vinyl limited to 3,000 copies, packaged with a double-sided printed inner sleeve featuring lyrics and band photography. The presentation honors the archival value of the recording without overwrought production choices, letting the performance speak for itself. For collectors focused on Darkthrone's foundational era and the documented evolution of Norwegian death metal, this pressing captures a specific moment that deserves preservation in the format it was meant for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: As Wolves Among Sheep\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Darkthrone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peaceville\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rock, Death Metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl, LP, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Special Edition, Stereo, Petrol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: Europe\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e: 801056832610\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA1.
