"Rebel Extravaganza" contains over an hour of pure
misanthropic filth. To no surprise
this black metal band hails out of Norway
as so many others. Even though Satyricon
consists of only two permanent
members (Satyr and Frost) the music is of rather high
quality. You will not
find any beautiful orchestral arrangements on this recording but
what you
will find is melodic black metal with some nice heavy riffing and grim vocals.
Except from Satyr and Frost several other musicians appear on the album like
Fenriz (Darkthrone) on
percussion and Anders Odden (Cadaver Inc, Apoptygma
Berzerk) on guitars. On the final track there is also a to me unknown
nice-sounding female vocalist. There are some stand-out tracks on the album
like "Tied
in Bronze Chains", "Havoc Vulture" and "Prime Evil
Renaissance" but the rest of the songs
are almost equally good, except
perhaps for the instrumental ones. "Rebel Extravaganza"
is a black
metal
album way above average and it shows an incredible versatility that can not be
found
on many places in the black metal world today. Satyricon is one of the
top Norwegian bands
at the moment and if they continue to improve they can
become really, really big. The album was recorded and mixed at Ambience
Studios during March, April,
May and June
1999.
