/dmg/ DEATH METAL GENERAL: RETIREMENT PLAGUE EDITION

Satyricon were always a band to live in the shadow of better bands and thus it is only fitting for their farewell U.S. tour to suffer the same fate.  The band announced their last trip to the United States just hours before Slayer’s shocking announcement that they will soon cease to exist.

Meditations on the Death of Wishful Thinking

Ihsahn is recording his upcoming solo album right now in Norway according to Blabbermouth.
