***Satanic Art*** is an [EP](/source/Extended_play) by [Norwegian](/source/Norway) [black metal](/source/Black_metal) band [Dødheimsgard](/source/D%C3%B8dheimsgard). It was released in May 1998, by [Moonfog Productions](/source/Moonfog_Productions). *Satanic Art* marks the beginning of Dødheimsgard's transition from [black metal](/source/Black_metal) to a more [industrial](/source/Industrial_metal)/[avant-garde](/source/Avant-garde_metal) sound, which was not fully realized until their next album, *[666 International](/source/666_International)* (1999).

It was Dødheimsgard's first release to feature [Svein Egil Hatlevik](/source/Zweizz) ([Fleurety](/source/Fleurety)) on keyboards, their only one to feature [Galder](/source/Galder_(artist)) ([Dimmu Borgir](/source/Dimmu_Borgir), [Old Man's Child](/source/Old_Man's_Child)) on guitars and the last to feature Cerberus on bass.

The samples used in the songs "Traces of Reality" and "Wrapped in Plastic" are both taken from the TV series *[Twin Peaks](/source/Twin_Peaks)*.

## Critical reception

William York of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) said the album is "more than just a transitional effort, *Satanic Art* stands on its own as a daring, defiant piece of work".[1]
