Release Year: 2006
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: cold grim atmospheric black metal
the sophomore disk [1994] by rather young crew from Oslo has caused a sheer sensation in Norwegian black metal scene, living up through its most intense period at that time - it has turned into a focal, academic release of cold and grim sounding, yet highly spiritual and atmospheric music; still not able to afford recording in luxurious studios, Satyricon have withdrawn abundantly with creative ideas, driving a sturdy wedge between uncompromising early era black metal grit and later spread more polished, thought out direction, while mystical and bitter lyrics transmit Nordic rigor and grandeur; quite rare Argentinean edition
