The new single "The woods" will be officially released on October 17.
"The magician" is the first single from Frost's upcoming album "Radio magnetic", the Norwegian duo's first release "Love! Revolution!" back in 2007. Can't say that I'm all that crazy about the song with those weak synthy horns, but the clip is definitely something to look at. Direct link: http://vimeo.com/13890486
The Washington Post Express talks to Satyricon drummer Frost: http://www.expressnightout.com/content/2009/02/thawing_the_frost_qa_satyricon.php
Check the link at the top of the piece for a preview of their show together with UK act Cradle of Filth.
Satyricon will be coming back to the US this winter as support for Cradle of Filth: http://www.lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=11584
CoF hasn't been a good band in a long time, but at least they are entertaining live. As for Satyricon, I'd still really like to see them with Frost on drums, but I doubt Homeland Security will ever let that happen.
Norwegian electronic act Frost will be putting out a remix collection sometime later this year, "before Christmas" they say.

Reading through Frost's webpage, I get the impression that the duo think they are a much better band than they actually are. The purpose of their new album, "Love! Revolution!" is, supposedly, to "search for the lost pop of that golden era when joy and creativity had as big a place in pop music as pure commerciality and copyism has had in the last decades." Fine. I'll admit that they're a good step or so above Britney Spears. But, joyful? Creative? Don't make me laugh. Or hurl. Or both. I've heard this whole 'female vocals over minimalistic synth/electro - pop beats' before. Done exceptionally well by the likes of Ladytron, Frou Frou/Imogen Heap and even Circ, I might add. So I expect a new take on the genre, some quirkiness in the beats, some deftness in the lyrics to bring a smile to my lips. But there is none of that here. The lyrics aim to be poignant and touching, but wind up being cheesy and, at times, very, very painful to listen to. Even the cheap, 'lyrics be damned' side of me that will occasionally listen to the cheesiest techno on the airwaves couldn't be swayed by this mess; especially since there is only one catchy track on the whole album in "One hundred years". Ultimately, the only thing Frost have going for them is Aggie Peterson's frail, wistful vocal style, which will no doubt ensure that a good percentage of the tracks on "Love! Revolution!" will get the remix treatment and earn the duo some recognition on the club scene (and possibly some revenue). In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if that might have been their sole, sorry objective all along. "Joy and creativity", my ass. Frost are only kidding themselves.
