SATYRICON To Tour Australia In December

Norwegian black metallers SATYRICON will embark on an Australian tour in December. Confirmed dates are as follows:

Dec. 01 - The HQ, Adelaide
Dec. 02 - The Hi Fi Bar, Melbourne
Dec. 05 - The Metro Theatre, Sydney
Dec. 06 - The Arena, Brisbane

As previously reported, SATYRICON has posted its video for the song "The Pentagram Burns" at this location (Quicktime required). Photos from the shoot can be seen here.

The "The Pentagram Burns" clip was filmed in August with director Håvard Arnstad in Oslo, Norway. "Visually the video is strongly linked with the look and the style from the album cover, hence we find ourselves covered with minor burns all over bodies and it feels nothing but good," the group writes on its web site.

SATYRICON will join forces with The Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra and Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra to perform at Sentrum Scene in Oslo on November 4.

"Together with Øivind Westby that helped arrange brass for three of the songs on 'Now, Diabolical', we are arranging brass for old and new SATYRICON songs trying to give the songs a dimension and feel they normally don't have," the band writes on its web site. "We have moved the show to Sentrum Scene to ensure it is an all-ages show. We hope this will be a spectacular night for us the performing musicians, and the fans. The show will also be recorded and filmed."

SATYRICON's latest album, "Now, Diabolical", debuted at No. 2 on the national Norwegian chart and also charted in Sweden and Finland.

SATYRICON reissued their 1999 album, "Rebel Extravaganza", on July 25. The record was remixed and features three bonus tracks: "Nemesis Divina (Clean Version Mix)" and "Blessed From Below (Melancholy Oppression Longing)", as well as a cover of SARCOFAGO's "I.N.R.I."
