Satan

Satan is a seminal British heavy metal band that emerged during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their sound is characterized by a combination of fast, driving guitars, complex song structures, and lyrical themes that often touch upon the occult and fantastical storytelling. Despite their dark name, the band has asserted that their moniker reflects more on the rebellious and adversarial spirit of their music rather than any actual satanic leanings.

The band's history is marked by several breaks and lineup changes, which have led to periods of inactivity and rebirth with different names such as Blind Fury and Pariah. However, since reuniting under their original name in 2011, Satan has undergone a prolific rejuvenation that saw the release of several acclaimed albums, reinstating them as respected veterans in the global metal scene. Albums like "Cruel Magic" (2018) and "Earth Infernal" (2022) demonstrate the band's enduring ability to deliver fresh and powerful metal anthems, with tracks like "Death Knell for a King" and "Into the Mouth of Eternity" boasting the kind of intricate musicianship and soaring vocals that have captivated fans both old and new. The unwavering energy of their recent work, including songs like "The Doomsday Clock" and "Atom by Atom," is a testament to Satan's lasting impact and relevance in the heavy metal genre.
