Norweigan black metal drummer Frost of Satyriconhad a chat to Soundscape magazine about their new album.

(CROSSES) are getting ready for the release of their debut self-titled album, set to drop February 14th next year! The band is Chino Morino (Deftones), Shaun Lopez (Far) & Chuck Doom.

Produced by the band alongside Shaun Lopez, they’ve said the album is “minimal and soothing and it’s sort of like the stuff I like listening to when I’m not screaming my head off.”

Should be a good listen! You can also catch these guys at Soundwave 2014.

By now I’m sure you’ve all had a flick through the October/November issue of the MANIACS zine and saw our interview with Satyr of Satyricon. We could only include a snippet of the interview, so we’ve decided to put the entire thing up here for your reading pleasure.

With the album being self-titled - is this a statement of where your album represents you in this point in your career?
