BIOGRAPHY
Satanic Warmaster is a Finnish black metal project from Lappeenranta consisting of the sole musician “Werwolf” (real name Lauri Penttilä). Penttilä began recording under this name in 1998. Satanic Warmaster has sold tens of thousands of albums worldwide without the support of any major distribution companies or record labels. The band has toured around the world in countries such as Finland, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Italy. In November 2014, Satanic Warmaster’s album “Fimbulwinter” reached the Finnish official chart on place #14 and the Rumba specialized stores’ chart on place #2.
Satanic Warmaster‘s lyrics deal mainly with nature, folklore, Satanism, and “occult and warlike themes”. In a Q&A session in 2014 on the official Satanic Warmaster website, Werwolf answered questions from his fans for 24 hours, where he revealed a chart presenting all the lyrical themes and messages in his songs throughout the band’s existence up to 2014. The chart had Satan, death and “spiritual rebellion” as three of the most important themes in his music, and against common misconceptions, dismissed the rumor that his music was ever involved in the National Socialist black metal ideology, citing that racism and Nazism were never dealt with as focal themes of any his songs. In 2009, Ylioppilaslehti, the biggest student newspaper in Finland, published an article about black metal which featured an interview with Werwolf. In the interview he explained his lyrical aesthetics even further.
