"Black Crow On A Tombstone", the new video from Norwegian black metallers SATYRICON, can be viewed at this location. It can also be seen below. The song, which was released digitally on October 20, is available for streaming here.

As BLABBERMOUTH.NETfirst reported on November 4, SATYRICON has inked a deal with Koch Records for the North American release of its new album, "The Age Of Nero". The CD, which was issued in Europe on November 3 via Roadrunner Records, is tentatively due in the U.S. in January in time for the group's tour with CRADLE OF FILTH.

After issuing the group's three previous efforts on three different record labels in Norway — Playground Music for "Rebel Extravaganza" (1999),EMI Music for "Volcano" (2002) and Sony BMG for "Now, Diabolical" (2006) — SATYRICON joined forces with Indie Recordings for the release of "The Age Of Nero".

"We have shipped 8,000 [copies] so far of 'The Age Of Nero', and we are really satisfied with that," Indie Recordings sales manager Espen Solheim Røhne told the Norwegian music industry magazine Faro Journalen. "The record stores and the wholesale companies have really come together and gotten behind the album, so the distribution is nicely spread out throughout the country."

"Now, Diabolical" has sold a total of 12,500 copies in Norway through Sony BMG. Indie Recordings is confident that it will be able to push the "Age Of Nero" sales past the 15,000 mark, thus securing SATYRICON its first gold record ever.

DIMMU BORGIR is the only Norwegian black metal band to ever receive a gold album in Norway, a feat that it managed to achieve with 2007's "In Sorte Diaboli". The CD also entered the Norwegian album chart at No. 1.

SATYRICON's highest-charting album in Norway to date is "Now, Diabolical", which landed at No. 2 back in April 2006.
