Satyricon aikoo soittaa juhlakiertueen ”Nemesis Divina” -albumin tiimoilta

Norjalaisen black metallin valovoimaisempiin yhtyeisiin lukeutuva Satyricon aikoo juhlistaa ensi vuonna 20 vuotta täyttävää ”Nemesis Divina” -nimistä albumiaan soittamalla sen tiimoilta juhlakiertueen. Kiertueen aikataulut tullaan julkaisemaan myöhemmin ja se tulee olemaan fanien ainut mahdollisuus kuulla ”Nemesis Divina” -albumi livenä. Yhtyeen vokalisti Satyr on kommentoinut päätöstä soittaa albumi läpi kokonaisuudessaan seuraavasti:

“It’s not what we do and it won’t happen again!” avows frontman and creative mastermind Satyr. “This band, as you know, is definitely not retrospective. But we started playing live in 1996. Our most groundbreaking milestone record came out in 1996. Nemesis Divina is the only one of the first three records that has aged really well. It’s the only one that we still play several songs from in our set to this day… so if I’m ever going to do anniversary shows and do a reissue and make it a big deal, it’s gonna be Nemesis Divina and it has to be now.”

Everything expanded tenfold with Nemesis Divina,” Satyr states. “For most people who liked the first two records, Satyricon climbed to a whole different level on Nemesis Divina and people really started to love the band. This album has a special place in our history. Suddenly we were selling 80,000 and then 100,000 records, and those numbers were unheard of in our small part of the world. That was the record that everyone that was into this scene wanted to buy. If you say there are two stages of evolution in black metal – the 80s, with Venom and Celtic Frost and Bathory, and then the 90s with the Norwegian stuff and everything followed in its wake – there are, at most, a handful of albums and a handful of songs that really define modern day black metal. Nemesis Divina is definitely one of those records and Mother North is definitely one of those songs.”
