Satan: new album 'Life Sentence' coming

Legendary Bristish heavy metal band Satan are releasing their new album 'Life Sentence' on April 29th in Europe and in May in the U.S, through Listenable Records. 'Life Sentence' is a very strong uptempo heavy metal album that is undoubtedly bound to become a classic of the music genre.

The cover was drawn by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Hatebreed, Sodom etc.) and depicts a similar graphic concept as their debut album entitled 'Court in the Act' originally issued 30 years ago.

Satan will assault some European Summer festivals to be confirmed shortly.

Track listing:
Time to Die
Twenty Twenty Five
Cenotaph
Siege Mentality
Incantations
Testimony
Tears of Blood
Life Sentence
Personal Demons
Another Universe

The songs deal with the following topics: Injustice, impending death, re-incarnation, atonement, Third-world Politics, and Biblical retribution.

The band are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches to an album entirely of new material written over the last 18 months. This is the culmination of a process that began when the original 'Court in the Act' album line-up got together for an exclusive one-off re-union show at Germany's Keep It True Festival last year. This line-up had not performed together in 28 years! The band were somewhat overwhelmed with the response - 10 minutes into headliners Crimson Glory's set, the crowd could still be heard chanting Satan! Satan! Satan immediately booked more shows in Germany, Holland, Belgium, & London, and have since kept in close contact with each other, writing songs and making demos.

The new album, to be titled 'Life Sentence' is scheduled for release March/April 2013. The full track listing is as follows: 'Time to Die', 'Twenty Twenty Five', 'Cenotaph', 'Siege Mentality', 'Incantations', 'Testimony', 'Tears of Blood', 'Life Sentence', 'Personal Demons', 'Another Universe'.

Fittingly, this will mark the 30th anniversary of their greatly acclaimed debut 'Court in the Act'.

Satan Line-up:
Brian Ross - vocals
Steve Ramsey - guitar
