We are super stoked to bring you Satan’s Satyrs new album “The Lucky Ones” for North America!ย  Thanks to Bad Omen Records for letting us be apart of the fun.
Upon recovering from being steamrolled over by the onslaught ofย Satanโ€™s Satyrsโ€™ new album,ย The Lucky Onesย youโ€™ll likely wonder just what exactly it was that hit you. A punky, sleaze rock groove (perhaps even a whiff of 70s glam) meetsย NWOBHMย melodic fury,ย Blue Cheerย mass and volume, andย Ozzyโ€™s dramatic charisma condensed into a sound all its own, perhaps. At its core is an unstoppable, unpretentious exorcism of rockโ€™nโ€™roll exuberance.

โ€œIt doesnโ€™t sound like anything else happening right now,โ€ says bassist/vocalist Clayton Burgess, who until recently split his time in British doom heroesย Electric Wizard. โ€œThe band has its own unique idiosyncratic sound.โ€

A significant difference on this album is the addition of second guitarist Nate Towle, which expands the bandโ€™s steamrolling capacity tenfold. Burgess, Towle, guitarist Jarrett Nettnin and drummer Stephen Fairfield convened at the Richmond, VA studio ofย Windhandย guitarist Garrett Morris, working in fits and starts over several months, first quickly capturing the raw energy of a band firing on all cylinders, then fine tuning the sounds and experimenting to get everything as massive as you hear it now. Likewise, Burgessโ€™ lyrics show new levels of achievement.

โ€œI pushed myself to get more of my own life in the songs, but open enough that anyone can interpret them in their own way,โ€ he says. โ€œI just wanted to capture weirdness. It reflects my unusual tastes, but also takes a personal perspective.โ€

The twin guitar assault begins from the very first beat ofย The Lucky Onesย and never relents until the last second of the 9-track, 35-minute album. Opener โ€œThrill of the Cityโ€ wastes no time launching into soaring harmonized riffs and swaggering rhythms setting the scene for a debauched good time. The title track, perhaps the most personal song on the album, is also the most unabashedly melodic. โ€œToo Early To Foldโ€ captures the frustrations and challenges of life as a touring musician, expressed through a belligerent 2-guitar attack and pounding snare on all 4 downbeats driving it all home. โ€œTrampled By Angelsโ€ pits a swingingย T Rexย vibe against dizzy, noisy guitars and lyrics about a pioneer of fetish photography using his medium to express forbidden desires to the world. Likewise,ย The Lucky Onesย itself is a vibrant, brash and loud expression of defiance against convention that refuses to be ignored.

The Lucky Onesย will be available on LP, CD and download on October 19th, 2018 onย Bad Omen Records, manufactured and distributed in North America byย RidingEasy Records.
