Cold, vicious and razor sharp. Satyricon's Rebel Extravaganza (1999) is everything a black metal album should be. Departing from their more grandiose and medieval inspired style of the past, Satyricon ventured forward into the frigid wastelands of misanthropic disdain. The drums of Frost (and guest drummer Fenriz) are viciously precise, the vocals of Satyr are scornful and the music like a discordant anthem of hate. This album represents the vile underbelly of humanity, it is ugly to its' rotten core. S.W. Krupp (Thorns) contributes guest guitar on a few tracks, but his influence, even if not direct, is evident throughout the album. The introduction of industrial elements and the lack of melodies being prime examples. There is nothing redeeming or likable about Rebel Extravaganza, it is an album comprised of pure, blackened, disgusting, anti-human vomit. Well played gentlemen. Tuesday, March 16, 2010
