SATYRICON Frontman To Guest On BBC RADIO 1's 'Rock Show'

Vocalist Sigurd "Satyr" Wongraven of the Norwegian black metal band SATYRICON will be the featured guests on next week's (November 3/4) installment of BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show". The program, which is hosted by Daniel P. Carter, airs Monday nights/Tuesday mornings between 12:00 midnight and 2:00 a.m. local U.K. time (7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST). You can listen to the show live on the Internet at this location.

If you are a UK resident, you can now stream the first four songs off the new SATYRICON album, "The Age Of Nero", at this location (courtesy of the UK branch of Roadrunner Records).

The single is the first track to be released from "The Age Of Nero", which hits stores in Europe on November 3 via Roadrunner Records.

Largely written in a remote cabin deep in the Norwegian woods by frontman Satyr in collaboration with his old friend Snorre Ruch (of THORNS; himself a legendary figure in the history of Norwegian extreme metal),"The Age Of Nero" features eight of the heaviest songs in SATYRICON's history.

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".
