"Norweigan newspaper Dagbladet ( http://www.dagbladet.no ) is reporting that SATYRICON frontman Satyr (Sigurd Wongraven) has committed suicide. A suicide note found at his home seems to indicate that he may have taken his life as a last ditch attempt at gaining credibility in the black metal scene. He was 31 years old."

Probably a joke.

that's a safe assumption

"last ditch attempt at gaining credibility in the black metal scene"

LOLZ @ that

First 3 SATYRICON CDs cannot be denied.

true...as yeti always says: "satyricon died in a plane crash after nemesis divina"

hmmmm wonder if this is true... April Fools??

Whoa... I was just listening to Dark Medieval Times on my way to work.

if this were true it would be all over blabbermouth.net

Untrue. Sigurd just kicked my ass at Hungry Hungry Hippos.

obviously an april fools joke, like the johnny depp dead of a heart attack thing that was posted on myspace last night.

I heard he just went antiquing with Jon Nodviedt

Well, yeah I thought that obviously, but Mitch Hedberg's death was announced on April Fool's Day, and that wasn't a joke.

i knew mitch dedberg was going to die when i saw him live. that guy consumed large quantities of drugs. he sucked live, but was funny on CD. MITCH DEDBERG!

I was hoping this guy would kill himself after refusing to play anything off the first two albums the time I saw them live. Teasing with a recorded intro of "Walk the Path of Sorrow" was real cute.

we could only be so lucky.

i will give them Rebel Extravaganza. that album takes some listening but it really grows on you. however after that album, yes they died in a plane crash.

april fooled

participating in April Fool's is so not true. I think he loses whatever was left of his tr00 kvlt points for this one.
