Stereogum skriver om Darkthrone 's album Under A Funeral Moon:
"Under A Funeral Moon is the second part of what would become known as Darkthrone's Unholy Trinity — which started with Blaze and concluded with 1994's Transilvanian Hunger — and like any middle child, it tends to go overlooked: Blaze was the great awakening; Hunger was the climactic conclusion. But Funeral Moon was an apotheosis of sorts. It's the ugliest, most unrelenting Darkthrone album — it's especially disorienting, arrhythmic, and atonal — the one on which they fully immersed themselves in black metal's lightless depths (depths they would never again plumb, in truth).
Discussing Funeral Moon in a 2009 retrospective, both halves of Darkthrone shared similar views on the album. Said Fenriz, "It's 100-percent black metal, nothing more, nothing less." Said Nocturno Culto, "For me, that is still the definition of black metal.""
