Satyricon fans rejoice! The Norwegian black metallers have announced that their ninth studio album, Deep Calleth Upon Deep, will be hitting stores on September 22nd via Napalm Records. What can we expect? Here’s what Satyr had to say, “Approaching this release, what I always kept in mind is that either this is the beginning of something new or it’s gonna be my last record. If this is going to be the last, then it needs to be something special. If there are more records, then I’d better make sure that this is so different from the last one that it feels like a new beginning. I think it’s really, really dark, very spiritual, and filled with confidence and energy.”

Satyr also said this on the title, “The way that I see it is that for any art, be it Satyricon or any other form of art with substance, in order for you to be able to inhale and completely understand it, it will take a little bit of you as well. If you get it all after a couple of listens, you know that it probably won’t stay with you. So the title is saying, ‘From the depth of the people making this record to the depth of the listener…’ If you want to take part in this journey, you should be prepared to dig deep down in the darkest corner of your soul with us.”

Take a look at the cover artwork, which features an obscure drawing by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, below, and stay tuned for the first track, plus pre-order details soon!
