TOP 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD GO TO SATYRICON’S HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR

Julia kinda beat me to the punch on this Satyricon biznass this morning.  I gotta say, I am as excited as she is, but for slightly different reasons.  (The RiB gals don’t always see eye-to-eye.)  I know a lot of people aren’t into Satyricon, but I enjoy them as the fun, poppy-er side of black metal.  Here’s why I think you should come party with us this ROCKtober:

5. Chthonic

Truth be told, I’ve barely listened to them, but since I know it’s mostly dudes reading this site, I might as well get this out of the way:

Yup…

4. Black metal as it should be: Norwegian.

Because it’s wayyy cooler to wear something like this:

..than this:

Gross.

3. Keyboardist Jonna Nikula

Not exactly the HOTTEST chick in metal, but she sure does rule.  One of the few women I’ve ever seen who rocks out equally as hard as her male counterparts. 

2. SATYR <3

Oh, Satyr.  How do I love thee?

(I reeeeally like tridents.)

1. BLEEDING THROUGH

I saw them that one time with Julia.  From what I remember, I don’t care for them much…but having them as main support is a blessing in disguise!  You’re not really going to watch them, are you?  Think of all the time you’ll have to go to the bathroom, hit the bar….  It’s like a mini vacay!
