Satan announce new album ‘Earth Infernal’
SATAN have announced a new album!
Titled Earth Infernal, the upcoming album from the British heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s Cruel Magic, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Metal Blade Records.
“For two years the world has been preoccupied with politics and pandemics and 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. Almost irreversibly so. We are on a one-way trip to Hell and dragging our children along with us. Yes, SATAN has something to say about global warming. Steve [Ramsey, guitars] and I had been talking for a while about playing some of our dual leads in unison rather than in harmony – which is our normal method. And sure enough, the trusted twin harmonies are still in abundance on this record, but two of the songs have us playing lead in unison, like Rossington and Collins‘ solo in Free Bird. I believe that our current writing and subject matter are only too relevant to what is going on in the world today.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Burning Portrait. Speaking about the new song, Tippins says, “Burning Portrait describes the fall of this person, the gradual decline of optimism turning into cynicism, and how ideals, like paint on a picture, can crumble and decay if not maintained properly. The fall happens in his own mind rather than in the real world. He can no longer visualize himself the way he used to and realizes he has turned into the sum of everything he despised as a young idealist.”
