2 out of 5 stars I'm among those who don't quite understand this........2007-04-17

I still am in the dark as to why this is rendered a classic album. Sure, the first track was pretty good and opened with an interesting riff...but that was about it. I must say, I do enjoy the first track a lot...it is what people describe it to be. Still though, no one ever mentioned that the riff repeats 50,000 times- and even though the repetition actually doesnt bother me, personally, so much, after about 3 or 4 sequential listens, it gets a bit boring.

As for the rest of the CD: Definitely not all it's cracked up to be. Admittedly, it gives you about 2 or 3 songs of cold and dismal feeling black metal...but the rest of the LP is just a bore really.

I agree with what was stated before. I have no idea who came up with the idea that black metal has to be gritty and hold a lacking production. I get the fact that it makes it seem more primitive and that some people like that, but why does that mean commerically geared black metal bands have to be held at a lower standard?

Overall, this album is okay. I wouldnt say its as horrible as some have quoted it to be, but it isnt anything great either. You really have to be in the mood to listen to it, and you cant expect to listen for too long, considering it sounds very alike throughout the whole thing.

4 out of 5 stars So this is darkthrone?.......2006-08-20

I Have been meaning to get into this band for a while (seeing as i own some dimmu borgir cd's and battles in the north) and well everywhere ive read said this was true black metal as well as darkthrones best so i bought this (it was also cheaper then others' like panzurfrost, under a funeral moon & a blaze in the morther sky) as i was listeing to this i got lost in it like i do with most cd's but i did notice one key thing, THIS CD IS VERY REPETIVE which is a huge drawback, so take it for what it's worth, but if you wanna hear black metal this is a good listen

5 out of 5 stars The back excerpt says it all... TRUE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL..........2005-10-22

Dude...you guys don't know black metal...there are so many bad reviews about this album that it makes me sick to my stomach! DarkThrone is one of the pioneers of norwegian black metal along with MayheM (with Oystein and Per Yngve. DarkThrone gave up the whole trendy death metal scene to become the UNHOLY darkthrone and ever sense then, they NEVER made a bad album. The production of this album added to the dark, grim atmosphere of the album, and i do not regret buying it at all. The album is sung entirely in Norwegian which kicks soooo much @$$!! I think all music should be sung in its native language. Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, German, Polish whatever...BLACK METAL IST KREIG!!!

1 out of 5 stars All 8 songs sound the same!.......2004-11-09

Seriously, though. You can play the first 30 seconds of each song, and you get the same result as listening to the whole song. This is by far NOT Darkthrone's best album. It is their worst. The production, while it was meant to sound like Darkthrone recorded this in a snowy environment or something like that, it just sounds like they recorded it onto a tape then re-recorded it onto a CD. Really cheesy and lo-fi. If you are just getting into Darkthrone, get some of their slickly recorded later stuff.

3 out of 5 stars Well, it's okay..........2004-09-02

I do not believe this to be as epic, much less good as most tend to make it out to be. This album is simply good, nothing more. Although I do take much more pleasure in listening to this over the tunes of the likes of other kvlter and tr00er bands, this is over worshipped. This is another black metal band which practices minimalist art, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I happen to like minimalism in many cases, but in this instance you may as well take the first sixty seconds of each song and then replay it for another two or three minutes; you'll get the same effect as listening to an entire song.

Minimalism is not bad. Lack of variety is what erodes the greatness of this album and only forces me to ponder about how good this could have been. The band had the right idea; they just needed to expand upon it a little bit with more riffs. On the level of skill, I'm sure any guitar newbie could learn any of these songs, they aren't hard to play. What makes this attractive more or less is the sheer nature of this recording.

The blurry production gives Darkthrone a bit of an advantage for their quest to sound as if they recorded Transilvanian Hunger while camping out in a forest on a snowy winter night. Actually, this sounds more like it was recorded in a studio, then that recording was recorded on a tape player if you want to be realistic. The vocals sound like a growl in vein of a rasp; Nocturno Culto somewhat resembles the late Mayhem singer, Dead, during songs like "Slottet I Det Fjerne" with his "ARRRGH!" Like the guitar playing, the drumming is pretty simple; Fenriz mainly just uses mid-paced blast beats. However, I happen to have a soft spot for the drumming here because of the way the non stop pounding adds a nice dosage of chaos to this album.

Even though the guitars are just fast strumming, there is a lot of melody within the simplicity. Yeah, the sound is cold and grim, but even that isn't an excuse to cut corners like this. The guys in Darkthrone have a knick for creating good melody with little effort involved, but I know they could have done more with less recursive riffs to make this album really scream `epic.' This is worth owning if you're a fan of black metal, without a doubt, but I wouldn't call this essential by any means. If you hate repetitive minimalism then you may want to download this before you consider purchasing it.

5 out of 5 stars Dark purity.......2004-07-22

This is Black Metal distilled to its grimmest, darkest purity. The guitars meld together in a slowly shifting black harmonic wall. The riffs are repetitive but I found them mesmerising. The drums have been stripped down to their basics, no fills for Fenriz, and act as a solid blasting foundation for the guitars. The vocals are placed perfectly within the music and are savage. That most of the songs are sung in Norwegian adds to the evil angry experience.

The lyrics written by Fenriz and Count Grishnakh - Varg Vikernes of Burzum, are darkly poetic and evocative, capturing in words an essence of horror that few other bands ever achieve. At least the two songs in English do. This is dark, evil music, to call it grim doesn't begin to describe the emotion Darkthrone achieved on Transylvanian Hunger.

I didn't buy this album for some time as I heard of its primitive production, my bad.
Yes the production is intentionaly "bad", but the lo-fi sound really does help to create a palpably dark, cold atmosphere. It only adds to the cold wall-of-noise aesthetic Darkthrone were attempting. "Blaze In The Northern Sky" and "Under A Funeral Moon" are both excellent albums but sound "spiky" to me: there are things that stand up out of the mix, be it a guitar or Fenriz's highhat. On "Transylvanian Hunger" the sound has been honed/refined into a blasting wall. It just sounds more unified than Darkthrone's previous two black metal releases, (not better, just different)

"Transylvanian Hunger" is the music of ice, stone and anger, an innovative album from some of the true innovators in black metal. Certainly one of Darkthrones best and the quintesence of the Norwegian underground black metal sound. When I first got it I played it twice through in a row, at work no less. Listen to it loud in headphones at night, it will send chills down your spine.

5 out of 5 stars can't deny this classic.......2005-09-24

a classic slab of lo-fi cold grim black primitive metal. the atmosphere is bleak and the riffs are so buried and hypnotic. the production (or lack of) is always an issue with most people who love or loathe this band, but personally, i think it suits the music fine and gives it a great harsh edge. people can argue about Darkthrone's production ethics all day as far as i care...but it's the riffs and the guitarwork that keep me coming back to this album for repeated listens. the droning buzzsaw riffs soaked with reverb and distortion and played so fast, but with great skill and an excellent sense of melody (true norwegian black metal melody, that is).
