Arctic Thunder is the sixteenth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone. It was released on 14 October 2016 via Peaceville Records.[5][6] The first single from this album was "Tundra Leech". The album marks a return to the band's familiar black metal style, in lieu of the crust punk-influenced sound present on many of their more recent albums, though with prominent elements of traditional heavy metal still apparent.
The album is named after a Norwegian thrash/heavy metal band, active from 1985 to 1989. Darkthrone got permission to use the name.[7]
