This is the best track I have heard from Satyricon for many years and illustrates their step up they have made this past year with the writing on the new album 'The Age Of Nero'. This is more of a sampler then a single as bands of Satyricon's ilk don't attempt to crash the charts as they are just to heavy. But an excellent example of extreme metal that is not to extreme to make your bowls rumble but dark and heavy with some lovely blood curdling lyrics and a riff to mosh and nod to all night.

This is the sort of dark riffery that you would expect Sabbath to have knocked out in their heyday but with the extreme vocals of the 21st century growling rawness that you would expect. Satyricon have been the leading example of this type of metal for many years although their new album is rumored to be like this track 'less' extreme then previous material, but if it is going be sounding like this, then we are all in for a massive treat. Keep checking their myspace page as they play selected tracks from the new album.
