The Norwegian black metal group Darkthrone is based in Kolbotn, Akershus. Darkthrone was founded in 1986 as a death metal band called Black Death. In 1991, they changed their sound to black metal, drawing inspiration from Bathory and Celtic Frost, and became one of the top bands in the Norwegian black metal scene. Before switching to black metal, the band’s sole death metal album, “Soulside Journey”, was released in 1991. The “Unholy Trinity” refers to their first three black metal albums, “Transilvanian Hunger” (1994), “Under a Funeral Moon” (1993), and “A Blaze in the Northern Sky” (1992). These albums are considered to be among the most influential black metal releases and the pinnacle of the band’s career.
