"Soulside Journey" is the debut album by the Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone.

It is notable as being the band's first and only death metal release before becoming an integral part of the Norwegian black metal scene.

Oddly enough, Fenriz went by the moniker "Hank Amarillo", being that they had finally made it "big" and released an album, stated as his only real goal in life, and due to their negativity toward the current crop of death metal bands at the time, Fenriz thought it would be appropriate to mockingly choose a "big American style name". Later pressings of the albums show all of the band's pseudonyms rather than their real names.Fact|date=September 2008

Darkthrone were unique among death metal because of the absence of palm muting in any of the riffs; all of the songs are made up of fast tremolo and open notes which are far more prevalent among black metal bands.Fact|date=September 2008

The album was remastered and reissued by Peaceville in 2003, as well as being repackaged in a cardboard digipak. The first chapter of a four-part video interview (spanning the first four albums) between Fenriz and Nocturno Culto was also included as bonus material.
