(Dissection) Dissection might have gone "full mallcore", as Morsay would say, with the release of the 2006 disasterpiece Reinkaos, but they are still one of the original Swedish black metal bands... alongside Marduk, Morbid, Demonecromancy, Bathory and Sissourlet. But...• Frost: "Fenriz and Hellhammer Inspired my Black Metal Drumming" (Satyricon) Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad is perhaps the lesser known of the Satyricon duo, after the prominent and somewhat controversial frontman Satyr (Sigurd Wongraven) and his larger than life and provocative antics (well, he used to be anyway).
