Title: modern "true black metal"?
Review: definitely, the new millenium is the new rise of metal, and when we talk about black metal (pseudo most of all), there has been a lot of wonderful releases. But, there has been a problem, all the fusions the bands had done made them lose what black metal is all about (and for me is about evil atmosphere and skullcrushing madness), and satyricon is one of the few bands that progress a lot while sticking to their black metal roots volcano is no exception of that. the album has industrial influences while having its dark, speedy, and wild moments. Another thing that had labelled black metal is the production, and in that sense, volcano does the job on getting good production but not sounding over-produced (like dimmu borgir f.e) having the familiar foggy sound of old mayhem, emperor and darktrhone.
