In an interview with Rauta, Frost hinted at the band’s exploration of new musical ideas influenced by Satyr’s previous Munch project. This upcoming album is expected to showcase a diverse range of sounds, keeping true to Satyricon’s reputation for the unexpected.
While the exact release date remains undisclosed, Frost mentioned that most of the album’s material has been crafted and is currently in the rehearsal and demo phase. The band anticipates touring in support of the album, hinting at unique live shows that may deviate from traditional club tours.
