Satyr's words from the CD release of "The Forest is My Throne" 

Well something had to be done sooner or later with these songs 
This is the original recording of our second demo, which marked the beginning of the development of our music. The first one was with a different line up and is not interesting at all. With only me left as a fulltime member from our first line up I found a new drummer and prepared for recording new material. Influencing me at the time was not only the magic of the night but also the old bands who contriubet to the beginning of the music genre - black metal. If you don't understand what kind of bands I'm talking about, I guess there's no reason for you reading any further. "The Night of the Triumphator" was recorded as a bonus track to pay our tribute to some of those old bands. This time was an important period for the band and although the material is not representative for what we have done later and will do in the future, this was a perfect start fot the "new" Satyricon. The  demands for these old songs has been tremendous and we like them very much ourselves, therefore we decided to make them available.
