Album Description
Two CD Special Edition pressing of the Norwegian Metal band's 2008 album includes a bonus CD with eight bonus tracks and two enhanced videos, housed in a four-panel digipak with spot-silver varnish. Largely written in a remote cabin deep in the Norwegian woods by Satyr in collaboration with his old friend Snorre Ruch (of Thornsl), it features eight of the heaviest songs in Satyricon's history. From the unstoppable urgency that marks 'Black Crow On A Tombstone' to the epic frenzy of 'Die By My Hand' and the bleak nihilism of 'Den Siste' - each title demands the utmost sonic intensity. This is Metal music in its most mature form - not as simple escapism or a form of anger management, but as a profound experience of what it's like to live in the increasingly dark age ours has become. Roadrunner.
Customer Reviews
The best satyricon album ever
Simply put this latest album from satyricon is a masterpiece, in specific the opening track, commando, is a belting, hammering sonic blast unlike anything this band has done before. In fact I was not really a fan of their last few albums and had basically given up on them but this release has fixed all that. This is a great metal album that anyone could enjoy even if you don't particularly care for black/death metal.
Demonic!
If you like metal, all minor chords, and demonic vocals then this is for you. Satyricon has definitely progressed from their Nemesis Divina days into the Age of Nero. Blast beats are replaced more by Frost's pounding double bass drums laying down a musical foundation of brutality. This combined with Satyr's guitar and bass arrangements should make Satan tremble.
Killer as F$#&%$^%$
I've listened to this band since 1999, and always they are the paramount of black metal. A lot of people might disagree but this is my review. Anyway, this isn't Nemesis Divina part two as most people would prefer, but it's their heaviest record to date. Very catchy riffs, awesome drum sound, very thick and masculine, as well as the overall production. If you like the direction they have gone in '00 era, then you should not be disappointed.
