The mists of avalon 2001 torrent3/10/2024 What I'm trying to explain with all this is that "Rebel." transcends music as a sound made by various instruments and vocals to be enjoyed by the listener. Not only does these unorthodox elements fit right in, they also add so so much to the albums sheer momentum of force. The soul singers on "The Scorn Torrent" and the use of a tambourine throughout the album makes a statement. One of the many great things about this album is it's singularity. Songs which all land around the 10 minute mark rounded with short ambient pieces. It's an demanding listen to say the least. On the website "The Metal Archives" (which holds a lot of weight in the extreme metal community) the album only has a 52% rating out of a 100 based on 7 reviews. Released as follow up to a much more classical sounding black metal album, "Rebel…" scared away many fans and enraged critics. Satyricon OWN the concept of brutality on this release. Being truly brutal both in sound and atmosphere is a feat most extreme metal bands seek, but so few ever attain. I won't bash their other albums in this review but I will just say that Satyricon anno "Rebel Extravaganza" was a band at the absolute hight of their power, prowess and brutality. This is a tie for my favorite black metal album of all time with Funeral Mists "salvation". A completely flawless album in every sense of the word. This is, for me, the absolute pinnacle of Satyricons long existence.
