The Shadowthrone, SATYRICON’s second album, showcased a huge evolutionary leap for its creators. Where the Norwegians’ debut had heralded the arrival of a furious new creative force, the second full-length was an act of consolidation and refinement, as Satyr truly blossomed as a composer of artful extremity. Even in sonic terms, it stood apart from both tradition and trend, deftly encompassing both primitive, earthbound grit and a suffocating sense of otherworldly vastness.
The Shadowthrone Tracklist:
1. Hvite Krists Død
2. In the Mist by the Hills
3. Woods to Eternity
4. Vikingland
5. Dominions of Satyricon
6. The King of the Shadowthrone
7. I En Svart Kiste
