SATYRICON Announces U.S. Tour Dates[views:14307][posts:24]_________________________________ [Nov 7,2004 4:26pm - succubus ""] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, November 8, 2004 SATYRICON TO BRING ³THE RETURN OF THE ANTICHRIST² TO U.S. SOIL THIS DECEMBER Confirmed Tour Dates Announced Slipknotıs Joey Jordison Will Drum for Satyricon Satyricon, one of the most revered and legendary bands on the European Black Metal scene, has announced that it will bring its ³The Return of the Antichrist² tour to the U.S. beginning Thursday, December 2 in San Francisco, CA ending on December 22. Canadian-based bands Infernal Majesty and 3 Inches of Blood will provide support for these dates. Satyricon frontman Satyr explains the tourıs title: ³I recently read a survey that said that Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 are the least rebellious and most god-fearing in the world. How disappointing. Itıs time that Satyricon came to the U.S.² As previously announced, Satyricon will be joined on this tour by Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. Jordison, a huge Satyricon fan who offered his services to the band, will sit it for drummer Frost who has been denied entry to the United States due to ongoing visa problems. For "The Return of the Antichrist" tour, the Satyricon line up includes Satyr/vocals; Steinar Gundersen/lead guitar; Lars Norberg/bass; A.O. Gronbech/ rhythm guitar; Jonna Nikula/electronics, and Jordison on drums. System of a Down guitarist/producer Daron Malakian who owns eatURmusic said, ³Anyone who knows Black Metal knows that Satyricon is that genreıs premiere band. I have been a huge fan of the Black Metal scene for years, and I am so honored that Satyricon is on my label. Their new album OVolcanoı is exceptional, in my opinion, the best theyıve recorded; itıs honest, it has integrity, and I feel it and these upcoming tour dates will help spread the word to a new audience.² ³The Return of the Antichrist² will be Satyriconıs second U.S. tour in support of their most recent album, ³Volcano,² released April 13, 2004 on the eatURmusic/Red Ink/Columbia label. While the band has achieved massive cult status in Europe, they are making headway breaking through in America Metallicaıs Lars Ulrich recently singled Satyricon out as one of the more exciting new bands on the scene today. For the December tour dates, Satyricon is readying a new promotional video for the track ³Repined Bastard Nation,² which was shot in front of some 40,000 fans at the Wacken Festival in Germany earlier this year. ³As we are from Norway,² said Satyr, ³we have a Viking heritage, a very interesting history and culture and one that is different from that of Americaıs. Black Metal is very much a European and a Norwegian phenomena. I have seen the growing interest in Black Metal since we visited America for the first time in 2000 and I believe our time has finally come in America too. The Black Metal scene over there is taking shape now.² With more dates to be announced, the confirmed itinerary for Satyriconıs ³The Return of the Antichrist² tour are as follows: DECEMBER 2 The Pound @ Pier 96, San Francisco, CA 3 The Whiskey, Los Angeles, CA 5 Mason Jar, Phoenix, AZ 9 Pops Nite Club, St. Louis, MO 11 Harpo's, Detroit, MI 12 Eagles Club/The Rave, Milwaukee, WI 13 Metro, Chicago, IL 16 Trocadero, Philadelphia, PA 18 The Palladium, Worcester, MA 19 Jaxx, West Springfield, VA |

Well, if you are a big Satyricon fan you should probably choose them, because they seem to be getting fed up with US Customs not letting in Frost, so if it happens one more time I doubt they'll even come anymore. |
