Following the release of their comeback single, ‘Quick Quiet Raid’, at the tail end of 2023, cult scuzz rockers Satan’s Satyrs are back with their new album, After Dark. Having harboured a cult following for over ten years through four indispensable albums – Electric Wizard’s Jus Oborn once described them as, “Violent, filthy, ugly and loud like it should be” – the band is thrilled to announce that their next foray into madness will be aided and abetted by legendary New York label, Tee Pee Records. “It’s a great fit for us because they can appreciate our odd-band-out legacy,” explains bassist, Clayton Burgess. “Tee Pee Records has a long history of cultivating a heavy freak rock underground and we feel right at home in that universe.” Soaking Sabbath, Venom, The Stooges, and Blue Cheer in acid and acrimony, the quartet’s love of exploitation movies and horror culture have always permeated their music, and none more so than on their latest paean to primitive rock, ‘What the Winds Brought’. Replete with grubby vocals and a freak-fuzz guitar meltdown, this is volcanism at its finest and signals a return to form for Dungeon Rock’s wayward sons. “Even during the band’s recess, I never stopped writing,” Burgess continues. “We were always the riffy band on punk bills, the fast band on doom bills, the glam-tinged band on metal bills, with each album sounding different from the last. As new material slowly amassed and the right players fell into place, the potential couldn’t be ignored. The band could be a vital force again.” Listen to their new single ‘What the Winds Brought’ here and pre-order After Dark ahead of its official release via Tee Pee Records on 30th August 2024 here As well as releasing a new album this month, the band has also announced dates for a US tour in October and two special dates with British stoner dooms’men Green Lung in February ’25 (see details below). |
