NWOBHM veterans SATAN, have unleashed their new single “From Second Sight”, taken from the band’s forthcomng album, “Earth Infernal”, out on April 1st via Metal Blade Records.
On the tracks lyrics, the band explains: “Wherever you care to look around the world, you’ll find conspiracy theories and millions of people who actually believe in them. The denial of science is a very dangerous trend. In itself it is nothing new, but lately there’s been a significant increase in the number of followers who’ve now given up on proven fact and are ready to believe that 2+2 = 5 if it suits their purpose. Trust in authority is at an all-time low. Our world is on the brink of sliding into chaos unless people wake up and start to have faith in the smartest human beings on the planet. Established expertise must win the day or we are finished as a species.”
“Earth Infernal” 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, and it is perhaps their timeliest release.
Guitarist Russ Tippins comments: “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. 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.”
And he concludes: “I believe that our current writing and subject matter are only too relevant to what is going on in the world today. With touring plans in the works, SATAN fans will get a chance to hear “Earth Infernal” 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.”
