Satyricon - Volcano (2002)

Metal Pit Podcast: Kira on Satyricon’s Volcano (2002) + Top Albums of 2002Blake welcomes Kira, a recent Metal Maiden of the Month and writer of a Hellripper album review for The Metal Pit, to her first podcast episode. Kira, from Germany, explains how Satyricon’s 2002 album Volcano first drew her into extreme metal after hearing it via a German magazine compilation, and why it remains her favorite Satyricon release. They discuss Satyricon’s black metal roots, the band’s shift toward rock influences, and go track-by-track through Volcano, including “Fuel for Hatred” as Kira’s first extreme metal song, plus the long closer “Black Lava.” Kira recalls seeing Satyricon at Wacken at age 14, and shares her 2002 top albums list.
