Frontman King Aleister Satan comments on the track: "For us, Black Magick Abraxas is, in many ways, a 'coming full circle' moment, and, at the same time, the beginning of something new. Much like the final music video of the album 'Ride the Lion'. It seems that the world outside our own circle of supporters is also gradually beginning to understand what we’ve actually been doing for the past ten years. Mind you, we haven’t exactly made it easy for people to understand us, we’ve always had our middle fingers raised in every direction, hah! But perhaps that’s precisely why it all makes sense in the end. Boundaries are meant to be broken, and the energy inherent in music is, after all, far greater than the sum of its parts. It is magic at its finest, and surrendering to it can shift one’s level of consciousness. We will never fit into any pre-existing mold; we have always been a paradox that forces both the listener, and us, too - to confront ourselves.
"We have never held any rules - written or unwritten - as sacred. Industrial metal for those who don’t like industrial metal. Philosophical lyrics and occultism for those who might not otherwise care for such themes - and for those who do, we offer an even greater challenge. Serious mockery, and mockery of seriousness. Dance floors, rock ’n’ roll, mosh pits, hedonism, and a surrender to chaos. Everything that the old devil is said to have tempted people into doing—things that 'good people' deem 'evil' simply because they themselves lack spiritual freedom. Hail Satan! Hail Abraxas! Enjoy."
King Satan recently released 'Abraxas Rising' (ft. Saku from Turmion Kätilöt), 'Fire in the Hole', 'Light of Darkness' and their special single 'Black Magick Rock 'N' Roll' featuring Erja Lyytinen, one of the most esteemed blues/rock guitarists in Finland, making the worlds of industrial metal and rock music merge together in high octane crossover suitable for dance floors, moshpits and 2 a.m. kitchen discos.
King Satan are a genre-bending industrial metal band from Finland, created by enigmatic artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer King Aleister Satan. A spawn of sleazy riffs, seductive groove ’n’ roll, mesmerizing melodies, and provocative yet philosophical themes, the band’s music offers a carnivalesque blend of extreme metal crossover. A unique fusion of electronic party music and the occult side of heavy metal, served with the raw energy of rock’n’roll, the group themselves dubs as ’death metal disco’
Founded in 2015 in the city of Tampere (FI), King Satan have steadily carved out a distinct identity within the alternative, industrial and extreme metal scenes, gaining loyal following through relentless touring, provocative theatrics and a mercurial sound resonating somewhere between avant-garde and shock rock. Originally a solo studio project, the act crew into a full line-up band known for their energetic live shows, trickster-like narrative and infectious charisma.
The band’s unapologetic approach, not shy of controversy, combines dark humor, absurdism and social provocation together with esoteric and philosophical themes inspired by the dark side of the human psychology and the world’s mythologies. Renowned for their explosive stage presence, crowned by the dynamic vocal interplay between the band’s mastermind King Aleister Satan and keyboardist-vocalist Hekate ”Kate” Boss, creating a ’Beauty and the Beast’ style of a dialogue between raw darkness and eloquent power.
King Satan have toured extensively across their native Finland and Europe with own their headliner shows and also supporting such prominent names like Deathstars, Turmion Kätilöt and Gothminister. Touring has taken the band to perform to prestigious metal festivals as well like Tuska Festival and Masters Of Rock but also to acclaimed industrial-alternative festivals like Dark Malta and Hellsinki Industrial Festival - demonstrating the band’s versatile genre-defying expression.
With multiple (charting) full-length albums and award-winning music videos, the band continues to expand their unholy metal carnival beyond the boundaries of kitsch entertainment and mystic arts in the name of the wicked one!
