Satyricon to Announce Groundbreaking New Album in 2025, Blending Black Metal with Avant-Garde Artistry
Norwegian black metal pioneers Satyricon are set to break their long studio silence in 2025 with the announcement of a bold and visionary new album. After nearly eight years since their last traditional release, Deep Calleth Upon Deep (2017), the band is returning with a work that promises to redefine the boundaries of black metal and modern musical expression.
Frontman Satyr and drummer Frost have spent the past few years meticulously crafting what they describe as their most “varied and daring” album to date. In early interviews, Frost hinted at a mixture of “traditional intensity” with “unexpected turns and textures,” suggesting a continued evolution of the band’s sound—a hallmark of their three-decade legacy.
While details about the album’s title and tracklist remain under wraps, the creative direction draws influence from their 2022 experimental piece Satyricon & Munch, which paired dark, immersive music with visual art at Oslo’s Munch Museum. This has sparked speculation among fans that the new album could include multimedia components or a visual companion, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
The band’s return to live performance in 2024, culminating in the Unholy Trinity 2025 Tour alongside Behemoth and Rotting Christ, has only intensified fan anticipation. With sold-out venues and critical acclaim following their powerful shows, Satyricon has reasserted their status as black metal royalty.
Now, with the upcoming announcement of this groundbreaking release, Satyricon stands at the forefront of black metal’s next chapter. Both fans and critics await the moment when the band reveals what could be their most innovative creation yet—an album that not only honors their grim legacy but also carves a daring path forward into the
unknown.
