Satyricon has remained as a two-piece of Satyr and Frost ever since, not counting Samoth from {{Music/Emperor}} and Nocturno Culto from {{Music/Darkthrone}} being employed for short periods in the 90s.

Satyricon is a Norwegian BlackMetal band formed in Oslo in 1991. It is one of the most recognizable metal outfits from the country, being a part of the notorious second-wave black metal scene and later, through inclusion of HardRock-inspired riffs and rhythms, pioneering the style known as black ’n’ roll.

----
!Tropes:
* BlackMetal: Straight second-wave in the 90s, black ’n’ roll afterwards.
* CoverVersion: They’ve covered {{Music/Darkthrone}}, {{Music/Bathory}} and {{Music/Motorhead}} among others.
* EpicRocking: A lot on the 90s releases. Somewhat less common since the switch to black ’n’ roll, but there’s still bound to be at least one example per album. ''Satyricon & Munch'' is an extreme case, being a singular 56 minute long composition.
* GenreShift: The shift to black ’n’ roll in the 2000s.
* GreenAesop: Forests and nature in general are a common lyrical theme, especially early on.
* HardRock: A major influence on all albums from ''Vulcano'' to ''Deep Calleth Upon Deep''.
* HarshVocals: A genre staple, of course.
* IAmTheBand: Satyr, as the band’s leader and composer of all the music. Unlike his moniker would suggest, though, he was ''not'' a founding member.
* IndustrialMetal: A notable influence on ''Rebel Extravaganza''.
* LeadDrummer: Frost, one of the most renowned drummers in all of black metal. His skill is more pronounced on the earlier material though, as well as in 1349, another band he’s in.
* LongRunnerLineUp: Type 2. Satyr and Frost have been the only core band members since 1996.
* OutOfGenreExperience: ''Satyricon & Munch'', an album made entirely of a single 56 minute long neoclassical ambient piece made for an art exhibition in collaboration with the Munch Museum in Oslo, which celebrates the life and works of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
* RockMeAsmodeus: To a much lesser extent than most of their black metal contemporaries, but still present.
* StageNames: All members have had them, barring some of the live musicians.
* SymphonicMetal: While never a straight example, their first couple of albums featured some symphonic keyboard sections. And then there’s their 2013 live performance with the Norwegian National Opera Chorus.
* TropeMaker: Of black ’n’ roll.
