Movement among band members.

Norwegian black metal band SATYRICON have signed a deal with EMI Norway for Scandinavian territories, according to a news item posted at Digitalmetal.

The rest goes as follows:

"SATYRICON play dark and somber music of an extreme caliber. They are the best in the world at that," said EMI head Nils Heldal on www.dagbladet.no. "Therefore we are very proud of having SATYRICON on our label. Black metal is an exciting genre, constantly progressing, and we wish to bring this music to a wider audience."

"This is the first time, in Norway and internationally, that a major label signs a contract with a pure black metal band," said an EMI press release in what appears to be an unintentional slight against the UK’s CRADLE OF FILTH (who recently inked a deal with Sony Records).

SATYRICON’s forthcoming studio album, which is currently being recorded at Denmark’s PUK Studios, is expected to be issued through Nuclear Blast Records in all non-Scandinavian territories.
