Only eight months separate the creation of Dark Medieval Times and it's successor, The Shadowthrone. But the second Satyricon album showcased a huge evolutionary leap for it's creators. This act of consolidation and refinement has now been remastered and will be reissued with an altered artwork on gatefold vinyl 2LP. On The Shadowthrone, Satyr truly blossomed as a composer of artful extremity. Even in sonic terms, it stood apart from both tradition and trend, deftly encompassing both primitive, earthbound grit and a suffocating sense of otherworldly vastness.
