SATAN · Songs in Crimson | DARK CRIMSON RED MARBLED LP

Dark crimson red marbled vinyl.

Background information about ''

SATAN are back, and they mean business. Songs in Crimson is the kind of record that grabs you by the throat from the first riff and doesn't let go until the final chord rings out. The Newcastle metallers have been on a remarkable hot streak since their resurrection, and this 2025 offering cements their status as elder statesmen who still pack a vicious punch.

What strikes you immediately is how effortlessly the band blends their classic NWOBHM DNA with a modern, razor-sharp production. Tracks like \u201cFrantic Zero\u201d and \u201cWhore of Babylon\u201d showcase that signature dual-guitar attack \u2013 melodic, menacing, and absolutely lethal. Vocalist Brian Ross sounds possessed, his voice soaring over galloping rhythms with the fire of a man half his age. The title is no gimmick either; there\u2019s a crimson thread of darkness running through every song, from the crushing \u201cMartyrdom\u201d to the anthemic \u201cTurn the Tide.\u201d

This is traditional heavy metal played with punk rock urgency and progressive songwriting chops. Songs in Crimson doesn\u2019t reinvent the wheel \u2014 it sharpens it into a weapon.

For fans of:
Angel Witch, Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Tokyo Blade
