I thought it was a cool remix, but I wish Apoptygma Berzerk always sounded like that. I bought a CD by them (a singles collection) and it sounded like Front Line Assembly-influenced electro-goth stuff, a genre I generally dislike. I must say it was quite well done and much better than 99% of the genre that I have heard, but not anything like I was expecting after that Satyricon remix. >there has been some crossover before with elecronics in black metal (doom >metal, etc.), but these are way close to some Cylob/AFX twiddlings these days. >(Apoptygma Berzerk to be exact on the Satyricon) I dunno. I am a big black/doom metal freak (clandestinely... :), and have heard very little decent sounding electronics in the genres. Certainly the likes of Burzum of Mortiis aren't doing for me as far as their use of electronics. There were some cool ambient bits on Burzum's "Filosofem" and "Hvis Lysett Tar Oss" (in spite of the latter's Mortiis Casio-ambient tendencies), and the intro to Enslaved's _Frost_ was pretty cool, but little IDM-reminiscent stuff in what I have heard. The first album by the Gathering features the use of a Korg MS-20, but that's abnormal in metal. A lot of grind and black types have turned to power electronics/noise lately though, which is all good.
