You hearing some Satyricon in the track is funny bc I have never listened to that band. Just never found the time lol. I'm glad you like the tone, I tried to make it sound sorta like bands like melancolie du dhampir and mutiilation.

Oooo, I like Mütiilation and some other LLN bands! The other one I've never heard of.

Yeah, like I said, it might just be the medieval tag guiding my thoughts to them, because of their classic "Dark Medieval Times" :) I'd recommend that and "The Shadowthrone". They're not "raw" per se, or not at least rawer than any other 90s Norwegian acts, but they're melodic in the same way as this track. And they're such essential works that making black metal you might be influenced by them even without knowing it ;) What I don't recommend, however, is starting with Satyricon's never stadium black 'n' roll outputs, hahah! Quite the different band nowadays than what they used to be.

lmafo, I have a decent chunk of free time some days so I can afford to record some long songs. I also recorded a 27 minute long dsbm song I need to put vocals on tomorrow as well. I'm glad the medieval bm influences are present, it was more so an idea that came after I finished writing the riffs.
