Too Old, Too Cold EP released

In January 2006, the group released the EP Too Old, Too Cold , featuring the track “High on Cold War,” performed by Enslaved ‘s vocalist Grutle Kjellson . The EP also included a cover of ” Love in a Void ” by Siouxsie and the Banshees . For the first time in their career, the band produced a music video for the EP’s title track. Too Old, Too Cold marked Darkthrone’s first record to chart, reaching the top 15 of the best-selling singles in Norway and Denmark. That same year, Darkthrone released their eleventh album, The Cult Is Alive . This album marked a stylistic shift, incorporating crust punk elements. While Darkthrone’s black metal roots remained evident, their departure from the genre’s typical sound was increasingly pronounced. The Cult Is Alive was the first Darkthrone album to enter the album chart in Norway, debuting at number 22.
