Den Siste When asked about the involvement of producer
Joe Barresi (
TOOL,
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE) in
SATYRICON's new CD, the group's vocalist
Sigurd "Satyr" Wongraven recently told Norway's
VG newspaper, "
Joe has been a technician on practically the whole project. There might have been some misunderstandings in the Norwegian media about his role — it is me who is the producer;
Joe's role is to know which buttons to push to create the sound that I want."
Speaking about the first time he played the new album for
Roadrunner,
Satyr said, "I had nothing to say to them. I just played the album loud, and thought that if they they don't like it, it's their problem. I am so sure about what we have done this time that I don't think about changing a single thing. The door is closed, and we are so much on the right path, that we are not turning eother left or right on this. But they thought it was really good."
A European headlining tour will follow beginning on November 12 in Stavanger, Norway and ending in Hamburg, Germany on December 20. Opening all shows will be up-and-coming UK thrashers
EVILE.
SATYRICON will support
CRADLE OF FILTH on a North American tour in January/February.
As previously reported,
SATYRICON has recruited two new members for its live shows. The rhythm guitar is now handled by French axeman
Gildas Le Pape, who has been playing black and thrash metal, as well as jazz, for quite a few years. The band's new touring bassist is
Victor Brandt (Sweden) from the death metal band
DOMINION and
TOTALT JÄVLA MÖRKER.
Victor Brandt can also be heard on the new
SATYRICON EP
"My Skin Is Cold".
A previously unreleased
SATYRICON song,
"My Skin Is Cold", is included on the band's new EP of the same name, which was issued on June 2 in most of Europe.
"My Skin Is Cold" was released as a seven-inch gatefold vinyl single including a five-track CD. This is the only physical version of the EP and the packaging is said to be "truly one of a kind!"
The EP was relased via
Roadrunner Records worldwide, except in Norway, where it came out through
SATYRICON's new partner,
Indie Recordings.
