Lengthy-running heavy steel legends, SATAN, not too long ago introduced their upcoming new full-length, Songs In Purple, set for liberate on September thirteenth by way of Steel Blade Data. As of late, they’re happy to release the file’s pre-orders.
SATAN’s historical past is storied, their albums and incendiary reside presentations, iconic. The Newcastle, England-bred lineup would possibly quip that their profession has been “forty-four years of extended mayhem with a twenty-year lunch wreck” – forming in 1980, ultimately pausing ahead of reuniting in 2011 – however circa 2024 unearths the band thriving, writing, recording, and traveling on the most sensible in their recreation.
Evidence sure is their 7th studio album, and 3rd for Steel Blade, Songs In Purple. If 2022’s Earth Infernal album was once brutal, up-tempo and with loud guitars, guitarist Russ Tippins calls Songs In Purple “concise. It is extra to-the-point and will get there faster. One of the crucial causes in the back of the album identify is this file could be very ‘track’ centered. There may be extra punch this time round. Each and every refrain speaks for itself.”
SATAN rails towards characterless, metronomic, and “lower and paste song on a virtual canine leash. Recording within the twenty first century has change into not more than a sequence of binary code. Name me reactionary,” says Tippins, “and possibly I’m, however each and every bone in my frame needs to insurrection towards the incoming tide of ones and zeros.” With influences from King Purple to Mercyful Destiny, SATAN’s personal stylings stay distinctive, the band’s NWOBHM origins a springboard for musical and lyrical creativity, statement, and nonconformity.
Whilst Songs In Purple options lyrics together with “a once-great country is happening” and “that is the top of an technology,” SATAN gives no fast repair. “There’s all the time hope; answers don’t seem to be for us musicians to proclaim,” Tippins believes. “Each and every track has its personal other theme. Whilst there is not any identify monitor as such, the track ‘Fatal Purple,’ which is an anti-capitalism narrative, is as shut because it will get to that. As an idea, getting cash from cash is fatally unsuitable in that it is determined by consistent enlargement,” Tippins says. “However consistent enlargement is clearly inconceivable; a conveyor belt of sacrificial lambs.”
Honed by means of years of collaboration, brotherhood and love, SATAN’s chemistry is unbreakable. “We performed at a steel competition the place the headlining band had 0 unique participants,” Tippins says. “I can’t get my head round that, despite the fact that I like their bravery. We’re the authentic article. We didn’t reunite simply to business on previous glory,” he concludes. “If you need nostalgia, this isn’t the band for you. We glance simplest forward and all the time will.”
If 1983’s Courtroom In The Act began SATAN’s aural adventure, and 2018’s Merciless Magic was once a game-changer, the place does Songs in Purple stand in SATAN’s heavy discography? “The purpose is to additional consolidate the way we’ve got established, the pathway we’ve got been on for the reason that reunion,” Tippins says. “A part of that taste is that each and every liberate should have one thing that units it aside from its predecessors.”
Songs in Purple was once produced by means of the band and Dave Curle of First Street Studios who additionally engineered, combined, and mastered the file.
