Norwegian black metallers SATYRICON will release their long-awaited new studio album in May 2024.
Last year, SATYRICON released a 56-minute composition titled "Satyricon & Munch" in a unique collaboration with the world-famous Munch museum in Oslo, Norway. The music, created by Satyr, was written in the shape of a so-called musical work and transcended any genre barriers.
SATYRICON's latest regular collection of original material, "Deep Calleth Upon Deep", was released in September 2017 via Napalm Records. The disc was recorded in Oslo, Norway and Vancouver, Canada, during early 2017 and mixed together with revered studio guru Mike Fraser (who previously worked on SATYRICON's 2006 album, "Now, Diabolical").
Earlier today (Tuesday, September 26),SATYRICON released the following update via social media: "We are pleased to confirm that we will return to the stage for the first time in five years in the summer of 2024. We will be focusing on the European festival run and have no touring plans outside of that currently.
"At the moment, we are working on a new album scheduled for a May 2024 release.
"The art exhibition and album 'Satyricon & Munch', was an intense and all-consuming project for the record books, but it is history now and we have been working on all these new things behind closed doors for almost a year. We're delighted to soon share it.
"We really look forward to playing both brand new and old songs for you, and once again being able to hear you sing, scream and chant as the army you are.
"We will publish all dates once they have been confirmed and approved to publish. This will be great!"
SATYRICON's first two albums, 1993's "Dark Medieval Times" and 1994's "The Shadowthrone", were released as remixed and remastered reissues with altered cover artworks, in May 2021 via Napalm Records.
