Nemesis Divina ( lat . "Divine Nemesis ") is the third album by the Norwegian black metal - band Satyricon .
Emergence
Satyr wrote the music and the lyrics between autumn 1993 and winter 1995. Mr. Nagell wrote the lyrics for Du som hater Gud in June 1994.
Style and content
Satyricon plays traditional, epic black metal with keyboards on Nemesis Divina . Bathory influences shine through in passages in the style of their Hammerheart album. The guitar riffs are technically more demanding and the album is more professionally produced than the previous ones. The composition is more varied, more complex and of a higher technical standard and the production is cleaner and clearer than many other Norwegian black metal recordings; Satyr describes the production as "harder, rawer, with more bass and a more aggressive mix".
reception
Sephiroth from metalstorm.net describes Nemesis Divina as the climax of Satyricon's traditional black metal career, Matthew Kantor from allmusic describes it as quintessential black metal. The Rock Hard described the album as "an absolute Black Metal highlight, and therefore for each Headbanger interesting." The band find "the right mix of fast (but never chaotic) thrashing passages and bombastic, with painted spherical synths sounds." Containing the album "Pretty much everything the genre has to offer, with an emphasis on dark melodies and varied song structures."
Especially the song Mother North , released separately as a music video , is considered a classic.
