Contrary to
popular belief, Satyricon was never called
omnipotence. According to Carl-Michael Eide, he and Wargod
started the band in 1990, playing death metal influenced by
cadaver, carcass and
napalm death. Hevard joined later
on. At that time they were called Eczema. In 1991, they decided to
start playing black metal, so the name was changed to Satyricon and
then Satyr joined it.
