(Editor: I have a request for a record label owner, you know who I'm talking to. Like many editors, I sometimes use the internet, which is already equipped with AI, to help us with biographies that some bands don't send us. We have to rely on that or on your websites. Stop trying to correct my work! Next time I'll ban you from all my social media. You know who I'm talking to, the one who thinks he owns the underground bands of a country just because he releases bands on CD-Rs in cardboard sleeves. I'm more than happy with over 277,000 visits and followers from all over the world who support my honest work, especially in Europe.)
Tales of Ratatosk bursts onto the scene with a metal full of anger and a lot of melody. We can also obtain characteristics of folk music all within the framework of the most extreme sound. Rise & Decay is an album honoring the folk melody themes with great depth and a lot of energy worthy to drink a good amount of liquor. Breaking down this album we can get unimaginable sounds that take you to medieval Europe and take you to a scene from antiquity itself. Ancient battles and worlds full of magic, an entire atmosphere into which this gang transports you. Eight themes of great value for the genre and a great brutality in the extreme report, I am very surprised by the vocal power of its heartbreaking leader and quite depressing in his records but very suitable to the atmosphere that goes from folkloric to melody then to extreme and leaves you wandering on this journey to the medieval world. Going through all the instrumentation it is impeccable both guitars and bass and a very virtuous percussion, a support of clean female voice with great register and an enviable folk sound compendium for any band of the genre.
T:HelloAngelika!
How are you?The classicquestionWhy doyouputSatarialthe
band?
A: To begin with, we recently returned from a European tour and
immediately started recording our new album. At the moment I already recorded
most of the drum parties.
Why I started to play in Satarial?
At that moment I played in the first female death metal band Russia
Succubus on bass guitar. Accidentally met with Lord Seth and he offered to be
the keyboard player in the band Satarial. I liked the ideas of the group, both
musical and philosophical. The music was with a great influence medieval
melodic and folklore and I was very interested. Combined with black metal it
was something entirely new. And eventually, I joined the band and after some
time left the band Succubus.
T:Youhave been playingsince 1993have recordedmany productionsDo you remember anythingfromhow tostartSatarial?
A:
The entire history of the band Satarial is a struggle for freedom of thought,
expression and for religious freedom.
The
way of the band was not easy from the beginning. When in Russia the communist
regime became irrelevant, the government decided to replace it with another
idea for the masses, such as faith. And make totalitarian regime obedient
citizens through the orthodox christian church. Since the early 90's orthodox
religion began to gain more and more power and authority. And she has
negatively attitude to people, which not taking her philosophy. In 1995, on the
first public performance of the band Satarial, in participants of band shoot
from a pistol religious fanatics, who were militants oforthodox church. They in their activity
includes protection of churches and so on. In the future the Church has
increasingly infiltrated in the Department of state and policy. And
accordingly, many of our concerts were banned. The band has a lot of
litigation.
T:TheBlackMetalbandstartedasSatarialin a verytroubledyear in theNordicscene.Is there anyrelationship?
A:
When the Christian religion is increasing its influence on politics and the
state, and begins to encroach on the freedom of the people, then in the culture
( music, poetry ) appear anti-clerical tendencies. And the church begins to
fight against these anti-clerical trends in art.

Who areresponsible for creatingthe musicthe sound of eachsong?
A:
All music, lyrics and scripts of our show creates Lord Seth. I'm only doing
arrangements of drums and some arrangements of keyboards.
T: The lyrics are
basedonvampires, blood, wolves,love andantiChristian.Whatreading
or watchingto createthese kinds
of issues?
A:
Our creation touch on a few layers, one of which mysticism and pagan folklore.
And the other layer is anti-clericalism. On the creationinspires wild nature, forests, mountains, our
sorcery practices. energy that surround us, and Nordic mythology and history.
We
are inspired by only from the world around us, not touched by people. We deny
the illusion created by the Demiurge, and we live by the fact that lie between
light and darkness.
T:Youwere calledAdmaiorumSatanGloriumin
1989.What happensin 1993for changeofname
of the band?
A:
The band recorded a demo in 1989. And after 1990 and 1992 the band was not
active.
The
court USSR recognized the activity of a bandA.M.S.G. of anti-Soviet and fascistic. The name of the band and her
music were prohibited. Seth was sent to the psychiatric clinic. And the rest of
the bandmembers - into the army.
In
1992 Seth decided to resume musical activities. And started to assemble a new
team of musicians.And then Seth decides
to change name of the band on Satarial. And make the sound of black metal with
medieval influences.
T: I see newspaper
clippingswhere they criticizethe
fact thatyourAngelikago outplaying drumswithtopless. Andconsideronesatanicband
in aRussiantelevisionprogram. What do you thinkof Russian society?
A:
Naked female body to me is like a Manifesto of freedom, it is a challenge for
enslaved and society of obscurantist.
Using
sexual energy can be achieved great goals, because this is the energy of Fire ,
the energy of Chaos. Our show is not only ancient magic ritual, it is also a
sieve that separates the real people from zombies of god.
The
creation of the band Satarial closely associated with witchcraft. At concerts
we show magical mystery and rituals. This is not just a show, it's a real magic
work. We use the naked female body, which represents the nature and the
Mother-goddess.
orthodox
christians are afraid of the naked female body more thanthe Devil. We like it when they are afraid of
our concerts.
In
Russia now the totalitarian regime of the orthodox church. Most people in
Russia believe that the christian religion is the salvation of the country. And
now they are ready to destroy all those who have a different opinion. The state
currently already fully subject to the laws of the orthodox church. And all the
recent adoption of new laws has almost brought Russia to the theocratic system.
At the moment all the concerts of the band Satarial in the cities of Russia
thwarted by the police or religious fanatics. And so our concerts are held only
in Europe, not in Russia. In Russia now, if a musician doesn't lick the ass to
a priest, then he can forget about the scene. You probably know what happened
for example with the band Behemoth in Russia. Now most of the major festivals
and open airs in Russia are held under the patronage of the clergy. All people
to know about this, but pretend what to not know. And thus, many bands and
their audiences have become puppets of the ROC. The TV also only performs the tasks
of the church and state brainwashing people. On Russian TV saying nothing but lies.
T: Currently have
been 6CD'SIs theremuch difference betweenCDandCD? Whatwecan tellyouabout it?
A:
Satarial at the moment has released 7 CD's, not including reissues and
compilations. The albums differ from each other arrangements, but they leave
yourself in the basics of music of Satarial and folklore.
T:Do you thinkthat everyCDproduced
bySatarialhas a different style?
Since
all the music writes Seth, here I quote his words:
We
no longer think about the limitations of styles and directions. In music we are
talking about their emotions and thoughts. The word destroys the true. Word
cannot convey the meaning and only the music speaks the language of nature. The
real song is a scream of the soul, not just unnecessary words. We learn this
from nature and from ancient civilizations that have not lost touch with the
true.
T:Listening tohis latestCD "Lunar Cross"I likedthe
styleas well asletters.Howwould you considerthisCD?
A:
"Lunar Cross" - a mystical revelation symbolism of the swastika. The
movementfrom illusion to truth,from life to death, from good to evil, from
light to darkness. This is the way counter-clockwise in the rituals of revenge
attacks in the witchcraft. This activation of the four elements in their
original titanic condition.
We
decided to record this album in the tradition of the old school of metal. We
recorded it live, as it sounds on concerts. We did not use computer technology
whichalign the dynamics. It is the most
heaviest album of Satarial. I on this album was recorded not only the keyboards
as on the previous albums, but and debut as a drummer. The albumimbued with magic, mysticism, filled with
spells and planetary harmonies.
T:Isee you havemuch support fromlabels.
A:
The album was released by three labels: Satanath Records (Russia), Metallic
Media (USA), and Black Plague Records (USA) in august 2014.
T:In his concertsdoscenographicpresentations.Whatmade to representsome songs? Or is itjustmarketing?
A:
At our concerts we strengthen with help of visual show the magical power of
music. Lunar magic dance mixed with blasphemy and with Great witchcraft. We
give everyone a drink from the chalice of magical wine and to offer join us.
Also in the show we use magic incense, aimed at the objective of this ritual.
We support equilibrium and the protogenic Nature. We invite all to take part in
our witchcraft at concerts Satarial. If we will not do this, then the
equilibrium will be broken completely and demiurgeshall devour the souls of those who pray to
God. And someday we close our time and distance, are able to go beyond the mind
and creation. And see the light of the primal darkness.
T:Somelast wordsfor TheLegion

A: I would like to wish:to be free from dogmas, believe in yourself, to
live in harmony with naturead enjoy life !Be blessed!
Back
in a greyish 2014, a new band emerged from a vision.
Guitarist
Rydsheim and bass player Borka (both ex-Åskfödd) joined forces with the drummer
Johtun. After setting down the main foundation of ideas for the band they
recruited the singer Nine (Withershin) who had the ferociousness they were
looking for. Guitarist Nox (Withershin, ex-Pray for Locust) later completed the
lineup of WORMWOOD.
Together
they proceeded to forge a unique sound that evolved into a mix of atmospheric
and grim black metal with ancient Scandinavian melodies.
In
2015 WORMWOOD released the EP: “The Void – Stories From the Whispering Well”
A
frantic year of gigs and a tour to promote the aforementioned EP went by. The
time had come for WORMWOOD to finalize and record their full-length album.
With
the skilled Sverker Widgren of Wing Studios at the wheel of production, the
grand opus was completed and named: “Ghostlands – Wounds From a Bleeding Earth”
An
album inspired by the unrelenting Scandinavian north, the vast and mystical
space and old folk tales. An ethereal cascade perfectly blended together to
form a unique soundscape.
Alongside
working on the album WORMWOOD, together with director/editor Isak Skagerström
(Sound & Vision Studio), released a highly successful music video: “Godless
Serenade”
The
video itself was inspired by man's inner trials and tribulations.
In
the fall of 2016 WORMWOOD signed a deal with the Dutch label: Non Serviam
Records.
Now
is the time of WORMWOOD. “We are the wounds from a bleeding earth” lo
