A Blaze in the Northern Sky is the second studio album and the debut black metal album by the Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone. It was recorded at Creative Studios in August 1991 and released on 26 February 1992 by Peaceville Records. In addition to earlier rehearsal recordings made between March 1991 and the Norwegian summer holidays (later released as a demo compilation in 2016), the album features the band's first official black metal recordings and is regarded as a classic within the genre.
