Black Metal

Since their fiery formation in 2011, Germany’s SARKRISTA have upheld the banner of pure ‘n’ proud black metal in a most paradigmatic Finnish fashion – which is not surprising, given that the band consists of transplanted Finns. Nevertheless, whether you liken SARKRISTA’s sound to classic Finnish black metal or a newer breed of German black metal, the results are the same: a deadly devotion to Satanism and traditional black metal ideals, all conjured forth in a maelstrom of freezingly melodic fury. And the band have pursued that vision with a single-minded focus and clarity of execution for a prolific decade now.

And so the battle continues with Aamongandr, SATANIC WARMASTER’s first studio full-length since 2014’s acclaimed Fimbulwinter. Indeed, where that album evinced a diversity of songcraft and, more so, a concertedly polished aspect that majestically made that obsidian gleam, Aamongandr explores that duality with equally compelling results. In fact, with the album wasting no time in kicking into high gear, SATANIC WARMASTER sounds more urgent than ever – and yet, here is where the band’s epic side is also revealed in full. Cryogenic and caressing is its melodicism, in the glare of burning churches, and deftly dusted with subtle synths that heighten the mysticism at the heart of the SW sound, Aamongandr’s six songs charge forth with the grim grandiosity of mighty steeds; not for nothing is one of the album’s highlights titled “Duke’s Ride (Ride of the Spectral Hooves).” All told, this sixth long-form statement of intent is immediately recognizable as SATANIC WARMASTER but irrevocably proves that its creator’s imagination continues to flow as infinitely as the Atlantean depths.

New album, completely performed and recorded/mixed by Werwolf, created in total isolation between 2021 and 2024. Exultation of Cruelty brings forth a wintry breath reminding of the rising Black Metal underground of the early 2000s, and the original barbaric strength of Satanic Warmaster when “Finnish Black Metal” bullshit of today didn’t exist.

2022 repress, now full length. 40 mins with bonus tracks.

Black Metal

The fourth full-length album from Satanic Warmaster. “Nachzehrer” is a cruel monument of medieval darkness, northern desolation and Black Metal terror. 40 minutes, 8 songs, recorded with full analogue equipment with a truly extreme sound. This 2010 Satanic Warmaster album again shows a noteworthy rejuvenation of his unique unapologetic style with a more rabid production and more varied songwriting, something all the cheap imitators will have a hard time matching. “Nachzehrer” travels deep into a kingdom of the dark forces of nature, vampiric magick, inner darkness and devil worship.

The first Satyricon album, Dark Medieval Times, was released in the autumn of 1993, through the young band’s own Moonfog Productions imprint. Recorded earlier that year, it was both instantly recognisable as the product of the thriving Norwegian scene and as something wholly distinctive within that superficially restrictive musical framework. Even more remarkable was the fact that the entire record had been written and performed (with the exception of drums) by a then 17-year-old Sigurd ‘Satyr’ Wongraven: clearly a prodigious talent with an abundance of epic and perverse ideas rattling around in his head.

Black Metal

With Frost’s drumming a key component from the start, the Satyricon unveiled on The Shadowthrone is far closer to the unstoppable, obsidian juggernaut we know and hail today than anything heard on the seminal but occasionally guileless Dark Medieval Times. Informed by the tonality and textures of Norwegian folk music tradition but fuelled by Satyr’s unique vision of black metal, the propulsive, muscular forward grind of grandiose sprawls like In The Mist By The Hills threw down a formidable template, upon which Satyricon have continued to build for more than a quarter of a century.

Black Metal

Schrecken is the incarnation of primal dreams and the ancient evil. A thousand voices from the abyss of feverish illusions and from paths beyond sleep and death are howling, as the narrow hallway to an apocalyptic end closes and just hollowed darkness remains. 3 songs will lead you through oceans of nocturnal horrors, as oaths and curses break and fade.

Erzfeynd is an aural vessel for vintage Devil worship. As opposed to endless fables of conquest and slaughter, this shall serve as a meditation on the descent into tartarean and empyrean darkness, through pathways of the body and the soul. These 3 songs are an account of the magick of dreams, an ephemeral glimpse beyond the veil and a subconscious accord with Satan far from the distractions of tellurian madness. Here we prepare for the grand sacrifice as we open the SOMNIARKANVM.
