P.S. Sorry to rant. But we're just waiting on extended comments from the busy folks who currently run Satyricon, and I thought there was a lot to be said. We'll write a lot more on this topic, I guarantee it, in the months to come.
WW coverage of Satyricon in the last decade:
"Notorious"
"Authority Figure
"2003"
2006 Jason Simms interview with Satyricon booker Jeff Urquhart
