Anders Odden, co-founder of Norwegian death metal band Cadaver and bass player for SATYRICON, has revealed that he will be undergoing surgery for colon cancer next week.
Odden got the diagnosis in early October and has since received chemotherapy. Surgery is scheduled for January 6 and Odden said, “doctors have told me that everything will go as planned and that I will get rid of this cancer.”
Odden added, “it’s a tough journey, but I am ready. Have a happy new year and I will see you when I am through.”
Formed in Oslo in 1991, Satyricon made an immediate and enduring impact when they emerged from the flourishing Norwegian black metal scene. An idiosyncratic and fervently non-conformist creative force from the start, chief songwriter and vocalist Satyr and his percussive right-hand-man Frost made perpetual evolution and a noble disdain for the banality of much modern music essential tenets of their artistic approach. Having refined and redefined the second wave of black metal with early albums like Dark Medieval Times and The Shadowthrone, Satyricon screeched away from their peers in 1996 with the release of the widely acclaimed Nemesis Divina, simply one of /the/ classic ‘90s black metal albums and a mercurial blueprint for much of what would follow as the genre progressed into a new millennium.
