Black metal ground-breakers SATYRICON are set to bring their "Tour Diabolical" to the UK this September.

This will be the band's first UK tour in over three years and with new album, ‘Now Diabolical' picking up plaudits from all corners and rave reviews coming in from their recent summer festival appearances, SATYRICON are ready once more to push the boat out for the forthcoming shows.

Satyr, the band's frontman and visionary is keen to bring their latest material to everyone in a more intimate setting than that of a huge festival stage, commenting; "We're very much looking forward to touring Europe again as we've not done so since 2003! Playing all the festivals this summer we've seen that the new songs go down extremely well live. I haven't experienced anything like this since we toured ‘Nemesis Divina' in 1996. The unity within the band is really strong these days and I think it really shows on stage. This summer has been great so far. Now we're looking forward to bringing this spectacle indoors and displaying the whole package in its full glory!"
