SATYRICON: To Release Remixed & Remastered Editions of "Dark Medieval Times" & "The Shadowthrone"
March 29, 2021
SATYRICON's first album, Dark Medieval Times, was released in the autumn of 1993 followed by its successor, The Shadowthrone, only eight months later. These pioneering pieces of art marked a start of a Black Metal evolution and have influenced the genre ever since. Both records will now be released as remixed and remastered reissues with altered cover artworks, on May 28, 2021 via Napalm Records.
When it comes to pivotal moments in the evolution of heavy music, the Norwegian black metal scene of the late '80s and early '90s takes some beating for sheer audacity and contrarian verve. Most importantly, many of the records released during those tumultuous formative years have become established and undisputed classics in metal's illustrious canon, and SATYRICON's extraordinary early works must surely rank among the most revered of all.
Remixed and remastered Dark Medieval Times and The Shadowthrone will be available as a special limited deluxe box, as well as in 2 LP gatefold, CD digipack and digital album formats.

The Shadowthrone, SATYRICON's second album, showcased a huge evolutionary leap for its creators. Where the Norwegians' debut had heralded the arrival of a furious new creative force, the second full-length was an act of consolidation and refinement, as Satyr truly blossomed as a composer of artful extremity. Even in sonic terms, it stood apart from both tradition and trend, deftly encompassing both primitive, earthbound grit and a suffocating sense of otherworldly vastness.

1. Hvite Krists Død
2. In the Mist by the Hills
