“The crushed-out lo-fi sound is pure Velvet Underground, with acoustic guitars, fuzz-distorted electrics, and British Invasion vocals slathered together in the mix. It sounds bent and twisted, some might even say evil.”
CONSEQUENCE

“It’s like Motörhead on mescaline, along with a grindhouse vibe that one imagines the fictional band Bloodlust from The Last House On The Left might sound like.” KERRANG!

“The American equivalent of Electric Wizard, Satan’s Satyrs music celebrates occultism at its pulpiest.”
SHINDIG! MAGAZINE

“Picture this: Sabbath, Venom, The Stooges, and Blue Cheer, all soaked in acid and wrung out in a haze of raw hatred and filth […] The prodigal sons of Dungeon Rock have returned, and they’ve brought chaos in tow.”
IT’S PSYCHEDELIC BABY MAGAZINE

“Let’s get witchy and dismantle this fucked up system! Let’s get witchy and celebrate THC-drenched riffs! Let’s get witchy and blast Satan’s Satyrs who are back in a big way.”
CVLT NATION

“Sonically taking some inspiration from the bass-forward, whirling 1970s psychedelic rock sounds of England, it’s kind of like a spaghetti western hacked up into psychedelic punk stylings, with all the strange, wonderful chaos that suggests. Multiple layers of swirling, scrabbling instruments all come together into a grand, distorted odyssey.”
INVISIBLE ORANGES

“After Dark from start to end is just raw primal sound with no gimmicks…”
HEAVY MUSIC HQ

“With their reformed line-up they’ve continued to explore, touching upon just as much psychedelic rock and early garage rock as those core influences, making this yet another wild ride from beginning to end.”
METAL TRENCHES

“Prepare for a hammering, hard-rocking gallop, growling and throbbing basslines, and deliriously broiling and punk-fuelled riffage, wailing vocals, and potent doses of fretwork psychedelics.”
NO CLEAN SINGING

“What they get up to After Dark scares the living crap out of me, which means in the world of Satan’s Satyrs it’s very much business as normal.”
MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC

“Howling vocals and a freak-fuzz guitar meltdown […] Somehow it feels right and I for one, am glad to have Satan’s Satyrs back.”
THE SLEEPING SHAMAN

“Filthy, dangerous, caring for nothing or no one, Satan’s Satyrs are back and After Dark is their message to the world to look out. 8/10”
MUSIPEDIA OF METAL

“Not exactly easy listening, After Dark nevertheless shows Satan’s Satyrs living it up and burning down the freeway in their own evil style.”
EVER METAL

“They may always be a live band, but at least in my mind, there’s not much more one would ask that After Dark doesn’t deliver.”
THE OBELISK


PRESS INFO:

Following the release of their comeback single, ‘Quick Quiet Raid’, at the tail end of 2023, cult scuzz rockers Satan’s Satyrs returned this summer with the release of their new studio album, After Dark.

Having harboured a cult following for over ten years through four indispensable albums prior to their split – Electric Wizard’s Jus Oborn once described them as, “Violent, filthy, ugly and loud like it should be” – the band’s latest foray into madness was 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, none more so than on their strring paean to primitive rock, ‘Hellin’ Like It Is’. Replete with howling vocals and a freak-fuzz guitar meltdown, its volcanism at its finest and signalled 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.”

After Dark by Satan’s Satyrs is out now on Tee Pee Records.
