SATYRICON is ... black metal...

Taste is sometimes hard to defend: I always had a strange and kind of antagonistic fascination/dislike on Norwegian Black Metallers Satyricon. Latest after their pathetic Wacken 2005 appearance (yeah, I know, some fans thought different about this concert) I thought they were done.

I even thought less about them when they spread on Blabbermouth about their video to 'K.I.N.G.' "The video has all the ingredients of a good rock and roll video and sets a new metal video standard for good photography and clever editing."
Well, yeah - the editing was quiet clever, but not exceptional. But what really sucks is the cutting. The video is cut slightly off-beat. But only slightly. So I don't think it's intentional.

But... but... in the meantime especially the track K.I.N.G has been in my personal charts several times - and I'm sure it will be one of the most listened-to tracks in 2006 in the end. So judge yourself whether those just uploaded pictures are caricature or hommage.
