Now it seems to be official: Satyricon will release their new album in 2017. What should we expect after the black’n roll direction taken by the band (culminated with a collaboration with a pop artist on the self-titled album)? According to statement made by Satyr to Metal Hammer the new album will be less aggressive and seemingly more reflective. Here is an abstract of Satyr’s statement:
“When we started getting back in to the rhythm after I was hospitalised, the music changed. I wasn't so much into what we did earlier – it wasn't that I didn't like it, but I didn't feel it in the same way anymore.
A lot of what we did in the beginning is relentless, violent and aggressive. It's not like it's sobbing or really sad now, but it's more percussive, varied and soulful. There's less emphasis on the aggressive violent part of it.”
