Satanic Warmaster - Cursed Emperor

From Black Katharsis EP 2002. Satanic Warmaster is a black metal band from Lappeenranta in southern Finland. Musician "Satanic Tyrant Werewolf" (real name Lauri Penttilä) began recording under this name in 1999. In a 2003 interview for the Finnish metal webzine Imperiumi, Werewolf explained his personal beliefs in a detailed manner: "Pan-European traditional Satanism is a comprehensive ideological and philosophical alignment, which aims for the bettering of an individual and the most beneficial elbow space through the acknowledgement (and partially harnessing) of the dark and destructive (and thus initially creative) force of nature and cosmos. Excluding anything has never been the best option. Satanism constitutes my world view about 100%".
