"So, last Saturday I visited the Satyricon & Munch exhibition in Oslo and got to hear what will be the new Satyricon album in a dark room lit only by a selection of Munch's paintings at the 10th floor of the Munch museum. The music lasts for 56 minutes and has very little metal elements; I would call the music mostly dark ambient/classical with a tinge of black metal; as Snorre Ruch put it in his interview with Mork it's essentially 'Satyricon LTD'. The music was rich, dark, and brooding and complemented the paintings very well. It's quite different that I believe that it would be suited better as a Wongraven release but nevetheless what I heard was nicely crafted. There were some parts that seemed like sketches, as there were little repetitions and generally a very free-form structure, which is expected in ambient music of course. A friend of mine commented that it still had the essence of a 'rock band' so the music could not expand more to its full potential but I failed to hear that to be honest".
