Don't get me wrong - I love all types of production in music from old school cassette demo-quality to newer state of the art studio production.
I just don't think some (metal) bands sound good with over-the-top production, Immortal being one of them.
I think too many bands are over-producing their sound to where it sounds fake or cheesy. The great thing about metal is it can sound good as a DIY gritty basement recording or a well produced and mastered album.
If the newer Immortal had shittier production, I would listen to it more often. Some of the riffs I heard on it were killer, but the production drew me away a little bit. Take Krisiun for example; Black Force Domain had a gritty production and an evil feel to it, whereas the newer one is so over-produced it makes me sick. I guess it all depends on the band's sound, at least IMO.
Satyr's composition level has decreased. What I can give him is he is achieving exactly what he wants to do, and pulls it off smoothly. That's respectable in its own regard.
I'd rather throw in Nemesis than the new stuff, though. I think they should have hung it up after Volcano. If you listen to Thorn's s/t album you can hear where a lot of the modern Satyricon riffs are inspired from.
