Rebel Extravaganza: everything is in the title.
Black Metal is rebellion, and there is no 'sradition? and no fixed ways in a rebellion: Satyr knows and understand it well and he chooses a path, since the beginning of his career, of continuous evolution and breaking of values.
The album opens with some airstirke sirens and explosions, than a main slow guitar riff, than the explosion of sounds: Frost's drumming has never been so precise, fast and cold, [an incredible performance throughout the whole album] and together with Satyr's filtered screaming and the clean sounding -yet raw- guitars it gives to everything a sterile, spacy and ?futuristic? mood.

As much as i love satyricon, i jst can't stand this album at all. Riffs sounding the same, no variation at all, and Satyr's vocals -what the fuck happened to them on here? Well, at least 'Volcano' isn't as bad...

If I could vote with 0.5s... I'd probably give it something closer to a 6,5. but some songs have some pretty sweet and dissonant riffs. Some of the industrial and other outside influences are welcome too. The main problem is that it's too long for its own good. If this album was like 20 minutes shorter it would have been way tighter and better.

It sounds pretty avant-garde, with industrial elements in it. It's a big change from their previous work. But I think it's more interesting than their previous work, even if it's a bit immature.

This absolutely belongs in the same class as the albums that came before it. The different writing and slight change in style takes nothing away from the quality. Great riffs and progressions. Perhaps more dense is a good way! I'm always inclined to listen to the whole album.

I think about life
And I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me
