SATYRICON TO BRING ³THE RETURN OF THE ANTICHRIST² TO U.S. SOIL THIS DECEMBER
Confirmed Tour Dates Announced
Slipknot¹s Joey Jordison Will Drum for Satyricon

Satyricon, one of the most revered and legendary bands on the European Black
Metal scene, has announced that it will bring its ³The Return of the
Antichrist² tour to the U.S. beginning Thursday, December 2 in San
Francisco, CA ending on December 22. Canadian-based bands Infernal Majesty
and 3 Inches of Blood will provide support for these dates.

Satyricon frontman Satyr explains the tour¹s title: ³I recently read a
survey that said that Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 are the least
rebellious and most god-fearing in the world. How disappointing. It¹s time
that Satyricon came to the U.S.²

As previously announced, Satyricon will be joined on this tour by Slipknot
drummer Joey Jordison. Jordison, a huge Satyricon fan who offered his
services to the band, will sit it for drummer Frost who has been denied
entry to the United States due to ongoing visa problems. For "The Return of
the Antichrist" tour, the Satyricon line up includes Satyr/vocals; Steinar
Gundersen/lead guitar; Lars Norberg/bass; A.O. Gronbech/ rhythm guitar;
Jonna Nikula/electronics, and Jordison on drums.

System of a Down guitarist/producer Daron Malakian who owns eatURmusic said,
³Anyone who knows Black Metal knows that Satyricon is that genre¹s premiere
band. I have been a huge fan of the Black Metal scene for years, and I am
so honored that Satyricon is on my label. Their new album OVolcano¹ is
exceptional, in my opinion, the best they¹ve recorded; it¹s honest, it has
integrity, and I feel it and these upcoming tour dates will help spread the
word to a new audience.²

³The Return of the Antichrist² will be Satyricon¹s second U.S. tour in
support of their most recent album, ³Volcano,² released April 13, 2004 on
the eatURmusic/Red Ink/Columbia label. While the band has achieved massive
cult status in Europe, they are making headway breaking through in America
Metallica¹s Lars Ulrich recently singled Satyricon out as one of the more
exciting new bands on the scene today. For the December tour dates,
Satyricon is readying a new promotional video for the track ³Repined Bastard
Nation,² which was shot in front of some 40,000 fans at the Wacken Festival
in Germany earlier this year.

³As we are from Norway,² said Satyr, ³we have a Viking heritage, a very
interesting history and culture and one that is different from that of
America¹s. Black Metal is very much a European and a Norwegian phenomena. I
have seen the growing interest in Black Metal since we visited America for
the first time in 2000 and I believe our time has finally come in America
too. The Black Metal scene over there is taking shape now.²
