The band were formed in 1990 as Eczema<ref name="gutsofdarkness">Powaviolenza: {{cite web |url=http://www.gutsofdarkness.com/god/document.php?doc=10bae0453569b3044fd1ef469800c302 |title=Ved Buens Ende – interview with Carl-Michael Eide (guitars / vocals) |date=26 June 2006 |work=gutsofdarkness.com |access-date=8 September 2012}}</ref> by the bassist Wargod and drummer Exhurtum. In 1991, they decided to start playing black metal and change the band name to Satyricon. Satyr ([[Sigurd Wongraven]]) then joined the band. After the first demo ''All Evil'', Exhurtum was kicked out of the band because he "preferred hanging out with [his] girl at the time rather than kicking down gravestones together with the band",{{r|gutsofdarkness}} while Wargod left the music scene and became a [[United Nations|UN]] soldier afterwards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=97904 |title=Sunday Old School: Satyricon – in Metal News |publisher=Metal Underground.com |date=15 August 2011 |access-date=20 March 2014}}</ref> Remaining members Satyr and Lemarchand hired the drummer Frost ([[Kjetil-Vidar Haraldstad]]) as a session musician and recorded their second and last demo, ''The Forest Is My Throne''. Shortly after this, Lemarchand also left the band. But before leaving the band he recorded guitars (uncredited on the booklet) for the first full-length album, ''[[Dark Medieval Times]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} In the meantime, Frost was being "promoted" as a permanent member{{citation needed|date=September 2012}} and had recorded drums for the aforementioned album. Satyricon have—with two exceptions—been a two-man band ever since: from 1993–1996, [[Samoth|Tomas Thormodsæter 'Samoth' Haugen]] from [[Emperor (Norwegian band)|Emperor]] was the bassist and guitarist of Satyricon, and participated in the recording of their second album, ''[[The Shadowthrone]]''; and later, in 1996, [[Darkthrone]] member Nocturno Culto ([[Nocturno Culto|Ted Skjellum]], known as "Kveldulv" during Satyricon's period) became guitarist on the third full-length Satyricon album, ''[[Nemesis Divina]]''.

''[[Rebel Extravaganza]]'', Satyricon's fourth album, was released in 1999.  During this period Satyr drastically changed his look by shaving off his hair, as seen in the photoshoot for the album as well as their live performances around this time.

In April and May 2000, Satyricon toured as a supporting band for [[Pantera]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/philip-anselmo-says-satyricon-is-very-underrated/ |title=Philip Anselmo Says Satyricon Is 'Very Underrated' |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=14 November 2008 |access-date=20 March 2014}}</ref> [[Phil Anselmo]] has spoken of his love for black metal numerous times, and has participated in Eibon with Satyricon frontman Satyr.<ref>Various Artists: ''Moonfog 2000 – A Different Perspective'', Moonfog Productions 2000.</ref> They used to be signed with [[Daron Malakian]]'s music label EatUrMusic.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1444578/satyricon-signs-with-malakian-label |title=Satyricon Signs With Malakian Label |magazine=Billboard |date=18 February 2004 |access-date=20 March 2014}}</ref>
