"So, when I formed a band of my own, [Black Death], in the Christmas holidays of 1986, it was pointless to try and play like Exodus and Metallica. Instead, I focused on sounding like Celtic Frost. They had a special way of writing simpler riffs in a unique way — like if you put your sweater on inside out. I was impatient and really wanted to be part of the global underground scene. So, I recorded two demos too quickly and they consisted of little more than the first rehearsals from a band that surely could not play. One year later, I changed the band name to Darkthrone and wanted to try harder, but our first demo still lacked everything. "
