TAKING METAL TO A NEW AGE IN NEW ZEALAND

Norway's Satyricon are a rare exception to the Black Metal norm – they never cared for trends in how one is supposed to present oneself and abhorred the tried and tested genre stereotypes. What became apparent on previous album 'Now, Diabolical' is now a dark truth on their new album 'The Age Of Nero', their second release through Roadrunner Records.

Largely written in a remote cabin deep in the Norwegian woods, the guitars have been seriously downtuned, adding to the raw power of the band's sound. 'The Age of Nero' is metal 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. Satyr, the driving force behind the band, never made a secret out of his plan to turn Satyricon into more than just the darlings of a subculture. They strip away all ambiguous metaphors developing a refined sense for sombre, brooding melody lines and precise, overwhelming rhythmic structures courtesy of metal drumming legend Frost.

And Satyricon's venomous appeal is only apt to get stronger as they officially announce their triumphant arrival in New Zealand on March 19 2009 with one of the most infamous and beguiling shows on offer. Don't miss your chance to see Norway's most notorious metal export.
