A Fist in the Face of God Presents... DJ Fenriz's 40th Anniversary Vinyl Mix

By Dylan Hughes


Fenriz, 20 years and three months ago

So, the sun has ceded control of the sky to thick, black clouds, and all the babies in the world are screaming. It can only mean one thing—Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, the engine behind Darkthrone and regular VICE mixmaker, has created something new for us to listen to.

Being the insanely nice guy that he is, Fenriz invited me out to see him in Norway to collect the mix—which he put together to mark his 40th birthday—in person, as well as to watch a bunch of the bands he's been raving to me about for the past few years.

So this is it. DJ Fenriz's 40th anniversary vinyl mix, "Slow Black Death." And what a killer selection it is, encompassing many different styles of loud as well as Diamanda Galás. I am not sure how we got onto the subject, but the first time I met Fenriz he told me that while he and Ted (aka Nocturno Culto, his bandmate in Darkthrone) were recording the legendary A Blaze In The Northern Sky, they would smoke hash and listen to Diamanda Galás. In the dark.
