Oslo, Norway (1990 – present)
Satyricon is a Norwegian black metal band founded in Oslo, Norway in 1990.
Satyricon credit their 1993 first album, Dark Medieval Times, with starting a sub-genre of black metal termed medieval metal. The album displayed their fascination with the Middle Ages, blending extreme metal with acoustic guitar and flute.
Satyricon’s 1994 second album, The Shadowthrone, kept some of the medieval soundscapes that Dark Medieval Times showcased, but with more of a folk or Viking feel.
Satyricon’s third album, Nemesis Divina,contains norwegian black metal influenced by medieval metal and was released in 1996.
Rebel Extravaganza, Satyricon’s fourth album, was released in 1999. It has a dark industrial flavour. In April and May of 2000 Satyricon toured as a supporting band for Pantera. Phil Anselmo has spoken of his love for black metal numerous times, and has participated in some extreme metal projects with Satyricon frontman Sigurd “Satyr” Wongraven.
Regarding Satyricon’s 2002 album Volcano, Satyr stated in a press release/biography that “the music is rock based but more extreme; it is black metal pushing the boundaries that began with bands like Venom and Bathory, reinventing ourselves based on a foundation of rock oriented Black Metal is our philosophy.” Volcano won a total of four awards: the Norwegian Grammy for “Best Metal Album”, an Alarm Award for “Fuel For Hatred” in the category for “Song of the Year”, an Alarm Award for “Metal Album of the Year”, and The Oslo Award for “Best Overall Album”.
The band’s most recent album is 2006’s Now, Diabolical. The album has been somewhat controversial among black metal fans due to its somewhat “radio friendly” take on black metal, but it has continued to sell well.
