Satyricon – “The Age Of Nero” [Koch] … Black n’ roll is becoming more prevalent these days, using more accessible song structures to reach a broader audience beyond the “kvlt.” This seventh album was written by Satyr in a godforsaken cabin somewhere in the mountains of Norway. It was brought to sunny L.A. and recorded/mixed by “Evil” Joe Baresi, with Satyr helming production. The warmth Joe brought to bands like Kyuss and Saviours is not allowed to melt a drop of Satyricon’s icy exterior; clarity and balance are what’s at work here, accentuating the subtle palette in which the band revels. The majestic album closer ‘Den Siste’ is sung entirely in Norwegian. FCC OK … Try 1, 2, 3, 6 … 2009Jan19
