Long-running Heavy Metal band Satan has recently announced their upcoming new full-length album, Songs In Crimson, set for release on September 13th, 2024 via Metal Blade Records.
The Newcastle, England-bred lineup describe their career as”forty-four years of prolonged mayhem with a twenty-year lunch break” since they formed in 1980, eventually pausing before reuniting in 2011.
Guitarist Russ Tippins calls Songs In Crimson:
…concise. It’s more to-the-point and gets there quicker. One of the reasons behind the album title is that this record is very ‘song’ focused. There’s more punch this time around. Each chorus speaks for itself.
Tippins adds on the album’s themes:
There is always hope; solutions are not for us musicians to proclaim. Each song has its own different theme. While there is no title track as such, the song ‘Deadly Crimson,’ which is an anti-capitalism narrative, is as close as it gets to that. As a concept, making money from money is fatally flawed in that it depends on constant growth. But constant growth is obviously impossible; a conveyor belt of sacrificial lambs.
Songs in Crimson was produced by the band and Dave Curle of First Avenue Studios who also engineered, mixed, and mastered the record.
Songs in Crimson will be released on jewel case CD (USA), digipak CD (EU) and digital formats as well as spined sleeve vinyl with insert, poster, and download card.
