The “Shadowthrone” begins with a battle cry that leaves the listener in no doubt – this is not a joke! The anthemic feel and direct lyrics “Hvite Krists Død” has made the song a live favourite and it was once jokingly suggested by Fenriz of Darkthrone as Norwegian Black Metal’s national anthem. It’s an atmospheric and symphonic album with a strong Nordic touch. There are less acoustic guitars and medieval influences and it is harsher and grimmer than the debut [Dark Medieval Times], although it maintains the atmosphere. Excerpt from Satyricon [Website].
Samples of "In the Mist by the Hills" and "Dominions of Satyricon" from the band's [Website] - Albums.
