never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Although Darkthrone are famous for being the quintessential Black Metal band, they didn’t start out as such. No question about it, A Blaze In The Northern Sky is a remarkable album and an extremely influential one, but for their debut full-length Darkthrone played a rather enjoyably technical form of Entombed -influenced Death Metal, not yet having been converted to kvltdom by Euronymous. Once you realise what an inspiration the Swedes were, then it’s hard to see why you haven’t noticed this strain of influence before. Comparing Left Hand Path and Soulside Journey it seems obvious, from the music to the lyrics, and Nocturno’s vocals are quite Petrovian. It’s not as good as that Swedish classic, as few albums are, yet whilst some may even go as far as accusing it of being monotonous, this is almost certainly the most catchy Darkthrone were up until Too Old, Too Cold .
Of course, Soulside Journey is not that different from Darkthrone ’s later works; the actual difference between Soulside Journey and A Blaze... is less than you’d think, in some ways less even than that of A Blaze... and Under A Funeral Moon ! Sure, Soulside Journey is more technical, but this is unmistakably Darkthrone , and though Fenriz and Nocturno Culto weren’t using their nom-de-plumes back then there’s no mistaking those deep growls from the latter. Heck, the self-styled ‘Hank Amarillo’ reveals far better drumming prowess here than he likes to on Darkthrone ’s Blacker albums, yet it’s not a million miles away from what devotees of the band post- Soulside are used to. Darkthrone are amongst the inventors of ironic sloppiness in Black Metal, and yet listening to Soulside Journey and knowing that the two could have gone on to be extremely respected for their instrumental skills is quite ironic as well.
Looking at this album for what it is, however, the ride’s a rollercoaster. Opening blast Cromlech is truly excellent, synths wailing for a brief second before the band rip out of the gate, riffing hard and powerfully with one of the most awesome breakdowns you’ll have ever heard and some decent songwriting keeping the twists coming, and songs stick to a high level of quality afterwards. Sunrise Over Locus Mortis is a piledriver, but placed as it is between Cromlech and the killer title track it’s a fair bet that you won’t remember much of it, as the title track does essentially the same thing but better. Little moments like the bass trill in Accumulation Of Generalisation are excellent, Fenriz and Nocturno being joined for this album by the mysterious Dag Nilsen, who left when the band turned Black Metal and was uncredited for his input on A Blaze In The Northern Sky .
If you don’t headbang uncontrollably to Neptune Towers ’ brutal riffing and gorgeous solo, then you are not worthy, it’s as simple as that, yet Soulside Journey isn’t quite a perfect album, being slightly samey at times and never quite hitting as high marks as the true greats of old-school Death Metal can. This album is more than a curio but less than mandatory; you will never regret owning it, but neither will it have quite the same effect as A Blaze In The Northern Sky and the albums afterwards. Be careful not to dismiss it outright, however, the likes of Iconoclasm Sweeps Cappadocia mixed progressive-minded Death Metal and Doom way ahead of their time, whilst The Watchtower is forward-looking in a way that’s quite unnerving. Considering that this was released in 1991, this is a damn fine piece of Death Metal that few fans will dislike.

Following from their debut album Soulside Journey, the next three full-lengths, often referred to as 'the unholy three', set the benchmark for black metal in the early 90s, though in truth they've never been the kind to rest on such laurels - distilling elements of vintage punk, doom, thrash and death into their own sonic fingerprint ...
