“There are, at most, a handful of albums and a handful of songs that really define modern day black metal. ‘Nemesis Divina’ is definitely one of those records, and ‘Mother North‘ is definitely one of those songs,” Satyr boldly claims.
When SATYRICON released a third album in 1996, the band’s status as one of the most significant and creatively vital bands in Norwegian black metal was already beyond dispute, but “Nemesis Divina: was no ordinary record or just another step along the road to infamy.
To herald the 20th anniversary of this most illustrious piece of dark art, “Nemesis Divina” will be re-released on May 20th via Napalm Records, newly remastered by Satyr himself, and boasts upgraded and revamped packaging.
Satyricon will then embark on a series of exclusive one-off shows, performing the record in full for the first and only time.
“It’s not what we do and it won’t happen again!” avows frontman and creative mastermind Satyr. “This band, as you know, is definitely not retrospective. But we started playing live in 1996. Our most groundbreaking milestone record came out in 1996. It’s the only one that we still play several songs from in our set to this day… so if we’re ever going to do a reissue, do anniversary shows, and make it a big deal, it’s gonna be ‘Nemesis Divina’, and it has to be now.”
