'Preparing for War' is a stark and unforgiving album that found Darkthrone leaning further into a primitive, doom-laden sound. The album marked a return to a more raw aesthetic after a series of more experimental releases.
- The album was recorded at Darkthrone's own Necrohell studios.
- It was released on CD and vinyl by Peaceville Records.
- The album cover art is a photograph taken by Jannicke Wiese-Hansen.
Hailing from Kolbotn, Norway, Darkthrone are progenitors of the black metal and doom metal genres. The duo solidified their status as underground icons with this 2000 release.
