Fenriz commented:

“I am having difficulties putting into words my personal feelings around the existential title ‘It Beckons Us All.’ I can only hope others out there can feel the darkness that encompasses it.”

Nocturno Culto continued:

“We recorded in the manner we always do, live, meaning drums and guitar, with another guitar added later. We found a new twist during this process that surely benefited this album. Fenriz did stellar clean vocals on several songs, and his way of thinking creatively made it so good.

We also shared the bass work this time around. We added a lot of extra layers like solo guitars… it was just a cauldron of ideas. Instead of finding a plug-in or choir synth patch, we both recorded four vocal tracks each. Darkthrone is an ever-evolving band, as many should know by now, and this album is touching a bit into the heavy genre. I have no idea what genre we are, and have really not cared much about it, but I know for sure it’s metal.”

Fenriz added:

“For this album, when we were done recording it and mixing it, [Nocturno Culto] actually shook my hand afterward because he was so pleased. And I don’t think we’ve ever shook hands since I met him for the first time in spring ’88. So that says it!”
