UP NEXT: ROCKET Interviews BRIAN HEAD WELCH

The band is pleased to announce that TOTALT JÄVLA MÖRKER bassist and longtime Warwick endorser Victor Brandt has joined the Norwegian Black Metal band SATYRICON.

Brandt was chosen out of hundreds of candidates from all over the world, including the US, England and South Africa.

“I ended up getting picked and that felt good,” he says. “We’re all pros and like-minded people, striving toward the same goal. Playing-wise and personality-wise it is a fit.”

Brandt comments on when faced with the task of learning the new album:

“I went over to Satyr’s place and he showed me the songs,” he says. “But there weren’t any recordings that I could listen to or take home and he didn’t want me to record the riffs he was teaching me. So all I had were my notes.”

Another big challenge for Brandt was tweaking his right-hand technique (he plays with a pick):

“Satyricon play really fast,” he says. “So I put a lot of time into relaxing my right hand while playing as fast as possible.”
