Topic: Satyricon


In the News (Tue 17 Nov 09)

  
  Satyricon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satyricon (or Satyrica; fuller title in Latin, Petronii Arbitri Satyricon libri) is a Latin novel, usually believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius who was the emperor Nero's arbiter elegantiae or fashion adviser.
The name Satyricon implies that it belongs to the type to which Varro, imitating the Greek Menippus, had given the character of a medley of prose and verse composition.
Walter K. Kelly, 1854, in the volume Erotica: The elegies of Propertius, The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, and The Kisses of Johannes Secundus.

 The Satyricon of Petronius
Gaius Petronius (~27-66 A.D.), the author of the Satyricon, was the emperor Nero's advisor in matters of luxury and extravagance (his unofficial title was arbiter elegantiae).
The Satyricon is set in Campania, which is the region around Naples and Mt. Vesuvius, in the middle of Italy.
The advantage of this setting for us, paradoxically, is the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Two nearby towns, Pompeii and Herculaneum, were completely destroyed but in such a way that an unusual number of antiquities of this date were preserved by being covered with ash or mud.

Especially with Satyricon, MBM mixes 60's retro with modern dance and low-fi experimental electronica.
Satyricon is packed with atmosphere, catchy dance hooks, low-fi loops, sub-bass booms and basslines and pure analog synth wizardry.
Prior to "Satyricon" Jack Dangers and co. released three industrial/hip-hop/electro albums of mass destruction.

Still, "Satyricon," for all its failings, is the work of an original, a real filmmaker, someone who answers to no standards other than his own.
Such efforts to expand on SATYRICON were merely more explicit and less interesting than the original, and I do not really recommend them--nor do I really recommend SATYRICON for any one other than Fellini fans, for with its oddly disjointed feel it is unlikely to please those raised on mainstream.
In any case, if you haven't seen Satyricon and you're the kind of person who can stomach the extreme limits of hedonism, you are in for an experience you can only have once in your life for once seen you will then be there and no longer have luxury of that voyeuristic POV.

The group was rooted in a proto-Death Grind idea dubbed ECZEMA established by Eide and Blomberg, then subsequently Jørgensen, in 1990.
At the time of his joining, as ECZEMA changed tack toward Black Metal and adopted the SATYRICON banner, frontman Satyr was a mere fifteen years old.
The group debuted with a demo tape, 'All Evil', recorded with engineer S.K. Sunde on 21st and 22nd June 1991 with a band roster credited as vocalist Satyr "Nocturnal Screams", guitarist Lemarchand "6 String Funeral Machine", bassist Wargod "Electric Doom" with drummer Exhurtum "Apocalyptic Thunder".

Satyricon remains one of the most important and influential Norwegian fl metal bands, building a solid base with their first few albums and then breaking the bank with Rebel Extravanganza, an album that truly attempted to stretch the boundaries of traditional fl metal.
Though the band has mostly been a duo comprised of Satyr and Frost, the list of musicians that have contributed to Satyricon, either in the studio or live, comprises a who's who of Norwegian fl metal, linking Satyricon to practically every other Norwegian fl metal band of note.
These musicians include (far from a complete list) Tchort of Green Carnation, Cyrus of Susperia, Tyr of Borknagar, Neddo of Cadaver, Snorre Ruch of Thorns, Sverd of Arcturus, several members of Gehenna, Ivar Peerson of Enslaved, and many, many more.

In SATYRICON, Italian New Wave director Federico Fellini depicts the hedonistic, amoral, pre-Christian world of ancient Rome.
The Satyricon takes gleeful pleasure in its own excesses.

 Fellini's Satyricon
After seeing Fellini's Satyricon about 25 years ago, I got to wondering about the original book by Petronius, purportedly translated by Oscar Wilde.
I recall that the book was so enjoyable that I read it twice.
I liked the movie, especially the creepy music.

Like past Shea releases, his 1997 Sub Rosa release Satyricon takes its creative impetus from literature (this time from ancient Roman author Petronius' work of the same name).
Since Shea mostly limits his source material to discrete performances, Satyricon is a far more minimal affair compared with earlier releases such as Tower of Mirrors or Hsi-Yu Chi, but since those works tended at times toward the over-dense, the imposition is advantageous, resulting in an overall more approachable album.
