Soulside Journey is the first studio album by Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone. It was released in January 1991 through Peaceville Records. It is notable as the band's only death metal album, before they became an integral part of the Norwegian black metal scene.[5]
Background
The band's drummer, Fenriz, used the nickname "Hank Amarillo", being that they had finally made it "big" and released an album, stated as his only real goal in life,[6] and due to their negativity toward the then-crop of death metal bands. Fenriz thought it would be appropriate to mockingly choose a "big American-style name".[6] Later pressings of the albums show all of the band's pseudonyms rather than their real names.
