Satyricon Steps In For Opeth At Two Shows

Norwegian black metal band Satyricon will be replacing Opeth at two upcoming shows. The band issued the following statement on their website:

We are in the middle of recording bass for the new record and it is sounding very powerful and everything is coming together nicely. Today we got a call from our agent asking us to step in for Opeth who has to cancel a a show tomorrow at Hovefestivalen in Norway and MetalTown in Gothenburg on Saturday. It seemed like an ideal break from the studio. It is a workload of another world to organize Satyricon's machinery on such extremely short notice, but somehow we have managed and we very much looking forward to be firing on all cylinders Friday at 20.00 at Hove and Saturday at 17.30 at MetalTown. It's going to be good to see you all!
