Originating from Newcastle, England in 1980, SATAN is known as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. Though generally obscure throughout their career, the band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980s, influencing major acts like METALLICA, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL.
The original “Court In The Act” lineup of SATAN got together for an exclusive “one-off” reunion show at Germany’s Keep It True festival in 2011 in what marked their first performance together in 28 years. The band was somewhat overwhelmed with the response — 10 minutes into headliners CRIMSON GLORY’s set, the crowd could still be heard chanting, “SATAN! SATAN!” The SATAN bandmembers immediately booked more shows in Germany, Holland, Belgium and London, and have since released four studio albums: “Life Sentence” (2013),”Atom By Atom” (2015),”Cruel Magic” (2018) and “Earth Infernal” (2022).
