Satyricon: Live Summer Breeze 2018
The concert took place on August 11, 2018 during the Summer Breeze Festival in Dinkelsbühl. Originally a black metal band, they were then considered traitors to their own genre. Nowadays Norwegians are mainly one thing: cult. Satyricon has been around since 1990, this veteran of Black Metal, which was originally supposed to be a quartet. But since their band members left for various reasons, Sigurd "Satyr" Wongraven (vocals/guitar) and Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad (drums) have been rocking out on their own, bringing guest musicians into the happily rotating lineup.
