"Satanic Inversion of..." is the kind of record that seems to have been made exactly for those people who still wish Darkthrone had continued with their trademark Norwegian black metal sound even after "Sardonic Wrath", almost conjuring an "alternate timeline" type scenario in the mind of the listener due to how similar it sounds to the real thing. It's basically a tribute album in every respect, but it's a brilliant one at that, pretty much being to Darkthrone what Warhammer and Apokalyptic Raids are to Hellhammer - that is, a case of blatantly derivative acts getting away with it through sheer songwriting power!
