Product Overview
Satyricon - The Shadowthrone (2021) (2LP) A black metal monument remixed and remastered, including new cover artwork! When it comes to pivotal moments in the evolution of heavy music, the Norwegian black metal scene of the late Ü80s and early Ü90s takes some beating for sheer audacity and contrarian verve. Most importantly, many of the records released during those tumultuous formative years have become established and undisputed classics in metalâs illustrious canon, and Satyriconâs extraordinary early works must surely rank among the most revered of all. The Shadowthrone is Satiryconâs second album and is showcased as a huge evolutionary leap for its creators, it is an act of consolidation and refinement, as Satyr truly blossomed as a composer of artful extremity. Even in sonic terms, it stood apart from both tradition and trend, deftly encompassing both primitive, earthbound grit and a suffocating sense of otherworldly vastness. Propelled forward at an infernal pace by the increasingly masterful drumming of Frost and graced with a cameo contribution from Emperorâs Samoth, it struck the perfect, hellish chord at the exact right moment in time. Within weeks of its release, Satyriconâs legendary status was effectively confirmed.à TRACKLISTING . LP1 SIDE A 1. Hvite Krists Død 2. In the Mist by the Hills SIDE B 1. Woods to Eternity 2.
