SATYRICON To Stay Off The Road In 2010

September 25, 2009

Vocalist Sigurd "Satyr" Wongraven of the Norwegian black metal band SATYRICON has told Noisecreep that the group plans to halt all road activities after their forthcoming North American tour. "We started touring and haven't stopped," Satyr said. "We did Japan and Australia, then the U.S. Then we did an extensive of the Nordic countries and had a few weeks off and then went right into festival season, which ran from May through September.

"We've been off for a week and we're going back on tour for a month. November is off, with only one show, so it'll be quiet. Christmas will be it for quite some time. It'll take something special for us to go out in 2010. We need a break, since we've been going for a long time. We feel motivated to do a full headline tour of the States right now."

Supporting SATYRICON on the U.S. trek will be BLEEDING THROUGH and CHTHONIC. But Satyr told Noisecreep he was impressed by one of the other bands that is only on a handful of the dates. "The one band I am unfamiliar with, but who sounded interesting from the few songs I heard, is TOXIC HOLOCAUST. They are doing the first half of the tour. Once I heard a few songs, I sent an email to my booking agent, asking, 'Why can't they be on the entire tour?' That's how much I liked it."
