Timeline Satyricon

Rebel Extravaganza is the fourth album from the Norwegian black metal band Satyricon , released in 1999 . At Rebel Extravaganza, the band radically changed their style, abandoning folk and classical arrangements in favor of a more traditional guitar sound with industrial elements.

History

Rebel Extravaganza was recorded from March to June 1999 at Ambience Studios ^[1] . Together with the regular members of the group Satyr and Frost, who performed most of the parts, session musicians worked on the album: Gülve Nagell aka Fenriz ( Darkthrone ), Anders Oden ( Cadaver and Apoptygma Berzerk ), Snorre Rukh aka S. W. Krupp ( Thorns ) and some others.

The release took place in September 1999. More than 50,000 copies of the album were sold (the album was in 22nd place on the Norwegian charts in terms of sales). The music press also rated this album: Metal Hammer - 7 out of 7 points, Rock Hard - 9.5 out of 10.

Style

All critics have noted a radical change in music compared to Satyricon's early albums, the last of which, Nemesis Divina , was released three years before Rebel Extravaganza . In general, the album is dominated by songs based on the usual alternation of verses and chorus and rhythmic guitar sound ^[1] ^[2] . A characteristic feature was industrial electronic effects ^[3] .

For the photoshoot, a photographer who worked with Björk and Blur was involved in the album. The photoshoot took place in one of the London tunnels.

The lyrics of the album are mostly based on hatred of humanity. The track “Supersonic Journey” talks about Nostradamus , and “Havoc Vulture” tells about Christ.
