Circle the Wagons is the fourteenth studio album by the Norwegian band Darkthrone. The album was released 5 April 2010 by Peaceville Records. Fenriz, the band's drummer, described the music as Darkthrone's "own brand of heavy metal/speed metal-punk",[4] and declared it a further shift from their old black metal style.[5] About half of the album was written by Fenriz and half by Nocturno Culto.

The catalog number "ANTI-King ov Hell 001" appeared in the liner notes.[6]
