I guess most everyone here thinks The Shadowthrone is Satyricon's best?
Tell me what it sounds like when you hear it, preferably with text-based impersonations of Mikko Aspa's vocals included if possible.

Yeah, I hate when it just goes like RRRRRRAAAAAAAWGRAAAWRAAASATANSATANRRRRRRRAAAAAAWKILLYOURPARENTSWRRRAAAARRRRGHCreator of Failure: I know what you mean by being turned off by the raw stuff sometimes. Very grating.
Have you explored the roots of black metal? Under The Sign Of The Black Mark by Bathory and To Mega Therion by Celtic Frost explored various ideas in their lyrics and have decent production.
Examples please.Yeah, I hate when it just goes like RRRRRRAAAAAAAWGRAAAWRAAASATANSATANRRRRRRRAAAAAAWKILLYOURPARENTSWRRRAAAARRRRGH
Plus I don't listen to bands whose lyrics I find stupid, so that automatically puts away all the "Satanic" bands.
New DsO? DO WANT.

Ok, it doesn't have to be really intelligent lyrics, but simply not to be pointless, like most Satanic lyrics. Take Secrets of the Moon for example - their lyrics are Satanic, but it's not pointless crap like "Rape Jesus, Hail Satan - I'm dying to lick your ass, kill all the Christians and piss on their corpses..." and stuff like that, their lyrics are very deep and have origin in the Bible itself. Also, for example lyrics of most old heavy metal bands, power, Viking metal are not philosophical or anything similar to that, but epic stories which is also fine (ok, lots of black metal bands fall under this as well), or there are bands that deal with real-life problems... I hope you get what I mean.Personally, I'd mostly like to know examples of metal bands that The Creator of Failure thinks have intelligent lyrics.
