Listening to that Black Wings and Withering Gloom track, that riff at 1:40 is pretty great. I'll need to check out the album. Satyricon often seems to have riffs that really hook me. I love everything up to and including Nemesis Divina. Dark Medieval Times is the best, but I feel like The Shadowthrone is very close and I've come to love it just as much. I was listening to Nemesis Divina a week or so ago and thinking it was also right up there and that I need to give it more attention because I always seem to overlook it when I'm revisiting Satyricon.

And also I gotta admit I'll occasionally throw on Now Diabolical as a guilty pleasure, it's garbage but it's catchy. The other post-Nemesis Divina stuff I've heard doesn't even have that to offer.

I'll agree with you there, Diabolical is the better of those middle three albums. The first track caught my attention but it started to really blend together after a bit like the others. Definitely check the new album out. Black Wings might be the best track.

I used to listen a lot to early Satyricon and walked in the forest with the shadowwthrone and bergtatt on tape in the dark.
After Mother North I have not listened much, but one track I really enjoy is the song Phoenix from the self-titled album.

Up until (and including) Rebel Extravaganza they were excellent. I do like Now Diabolical and Volcano too, they're just 'fun' metal albums to listen I guess. They're pretty hit and miss after, a couple of good songs on each album though I haven't bothered with the recent one.

Speaking of newish Satyricon though, I love that song Phoenix, with the clean vocals.

Nemesis Divina was one of the first black metal albums I liked. I didn't really understand The Shadowthrone or Dark Medieval Times as a teenager when I was getting into black metal. Nowadays it's the other way around. The first two I listen to regularly and appreciate a lot. Anything that came after them sounds just plastic and commercial in comparison. Really have no interest in them whatsoever. If I had to pick the most interesting album out of the newer discography I'd go with Rebel Extravaganza.

Anyways Dark Medieval Times and the Wongraven album remain some of the most important albums to me.

I remember initially writing off the self-titled album from 2013, but re-listening to it over the last month or so I find it really resonates with me now. Very good stuff. Suppose I should give "Deep Calleth Upon Deep" another shot, too.

Dark Medieval Times is still the only Satyricon album I have heard. I love it though, it sounds so COLD!

Only ever cared much for “Nemesis Divina” (which remains brilliant) and a few songs off “The Shadowthrone”. It could be I got “Dark Medieval Times” a few years too late, I don’t know.
Post-“Nemesis Divina”? Completely uninteresting band.

[talvisynth]

Dark Medieval Times, The Shadowthrone (my 1st from them and my personal fav.) and Nemesis Divina are all absolute masterpieces. None of the later albums managed to capture my interest though.

Nonetheless, my own DS project wouldn't probably exist had I never heard the song I en svart kiste back in the past, thus eternally thankful to the band for that.

People into old Satyricon, the Ulver trilogy and such 90s stuff might want to check this (2022) album out: stangarigel.bandcamp.com/album/na-severe-srdca
