Satan is considered part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. After several lineup changes, the band recorded their first LP, \"Court in the Act,\" in 1983. Disagreements over the direction of the band led to a change in vocalist and name, becoming Blind Fury for one album in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSatan then reverted back to their original name with a new vocalist and released \"Suspended Sentence\" in 1987. In 1988, they rebranded as Pariah but retained the same lineup before splitting up in 1990. They briefly reunited with a different lineup in 1997 but disbanded again after releasing one album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, Satan regrouped for an appearance at Wacken Open Air Festival and finally reunited with their full \"Court in the Act\" lineup in 2011 to tour and record once more.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"songs-in-crimson","title":"Songs In Crimson","description":"\u003cp\u003eSatan's history is storied, their albums and incendiary live shows, iconic. The Newcastle, England-bred lineup may quip that their career has been \"44 years of prolonged mayhem with a 20-year lunch break\"-forming in 1980, eventually pausing before reuniting in 2011-but circa 2024 finds the band thriving, writing, recording, and touring at the top of their game. Proof positive is their seventh studio album, and third for Metal Blade, Songs in Crimson.   If 2022's Earth Infernal album was brutal, up-tempo and with loud guitars, guitarist Russ Tippins calls Songs in Crimson \"concise. It's more to the point and gets there quicker. One of the reasons behind the title Songs in Crimson is that this record is very 'song' focused. There's more punch this time around. Each chorus speaks for itself.\" An eminently relatable song is \"Era (The Day Will Come).\" \"There is nobody on this planet who is not familiar with the feeling of loss. When you get to the age we are at in this band, it becomes a weekly occurrence. If there is a message in the lyrics, it is pretty much 'do not take anything for granted.' Especially people. You just don't know what is around the corner that you can't see coming.\" Satan's chemistry, honed by years of collaboration, brotherhood and love, is unbreakable. \"We played at a metal festival where the headlining band had zero original members,\" Tippins says. \"I cannot get my head around that, though I admire their bravery. We are the genuine article.\" To be clear: \"We did not reunite just to trade on past glory,\" he concludes. \"If you want nostalgia, this is not the band for you. We look only ahead and always will.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Blade","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50380177441099,"sku":"2214141","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brown LP","offer_id":50380177801547,"sku":"2214143","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50380176949579,"sku":"2214133","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6f07a9e9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726210079"},{"product_id":"earth-infernal","title":"Earth Infernal","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarth Infernal\u003c\/i\u003e is a product of the times that birthed it, and could only be the work of Satan. Having churned out cutting edge heavy metal throughout the 80s, and reunited in 2011, their sixth full-length maintains the high standard they long ago set. It is perhaps their timeliest release. “For two years the world has been preoccupied with politics and pandemics. While we were all looking the other way our planet has continued to get hotter,” says guitarist Russ Tippins. “Our Earth is now infernally hot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost irreversibly so. We are on a one-way trip to Hell and dragging our children and their children along with us.

Describing the record succinctly as “Brutal, up tempo, loud guitars,” it is classic Satan but sounds fresh and new, the band experimenting a little. With touring plans in the works, fans will get a chance to hear these songs live in the not-too-distant future, and perhaps more importantly Satan will continue to spread the important message at the heart of the album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Blade","offers":[{"title":"Yellow | LP","offer_id":50476147999051,"sku":"1148238","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50476147278155,"sku":"1148237","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476148883787,"sku":"1148236","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fbadafe7-fc2c-4000-bc34-267b208cb5d3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727454745"},{"product_id":"out-of-the-fire-1981-1985","title":"Out Of The Fire 1981-1985","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe late 70s and early 80s \u003cstrong\u003eNWOBHM\u003c\/strong\u003e scene was nationwide, but North East England was especially fertile.
