KING SATAN Releases New Album âThe Devilâs Evangelionâ
Finnish industrial metallers KING SATAN have unleashed their brand new full-length record âThe Devilâs Evangelionâ via Noble Demon. To celebrate the release in a fitting manner, the band has released a captivating music video for the track âDestroy The Worldâ to further fuel the excitement.
âAs The Devilâs Evangelion is thematically something of an ultimate King Satan album, we wanted to include this new version of Destroy the World to create a âcircle-closingâ moment in the albumâs arc, embracing the paradoxical themes weâve explored since the beginning. We arenât typically known for slower-paced songs with a melancholic touch, as our singles usually showcase very different sides of our music. So, we thought it was time to present this side from us too. The music video might be, at the same time, the simplest yet most complex King Satan video to date, as I, the director, embraced dreamlike absurdism, symbolism, and surrealism in a very minimalistic way.â Mr. King Aleister Satan comments and explains the albumâs concept further: ââThe Devilâs Evangelionâ is a concept album concentrating on the duality and the paradoxical nature of reality. This concept stems from a trickster-like narrative that becomes convinced about being possessed by the Devil, leading to an experience of reality through the Devilâs eyes.â
Since their formation in late 2015, KING SATAN has consistently pushed the boundaries of extreme music. Blending elements of electro-industrial, symphonic black metal, death metal, and rock ânâ roll, and the bandâs chaotic and theatrical sound has garnered a dedicated fanbase.
Led by the enigmatic Mr. King Aleister Satan, KING SATANâs music brings forth an anarchistic blend of carnivalesque artistry, absurdist dark comedy, occult intrigue, and in-depth philosophical ponderings, served in an intoxicating blend of rocking dance beats, thought-provoking lyrics, mesmerizing melodies, and addictive hooks the band themselves have titled as âdeath metal discoâ. A fusion fit for both dance floors and mosh pits. With all these elements, the band defies conventions and embraces controversy the way which should not really make much sense on paper â and yet, it has consistently helped to create more and more buzz for the band wherever they go.
Unfortunately, due to production delays, the physical release of âThe Devilâs Evangelionâ has been pushed back a few weeks to December 6th. The album will be available on LP, CD, and digital formats. Unfortunately, these delays also affect the release of the accompanying lyric book, âThe Devilâs Evangelion and the Law of Chaosâ.
âThe Devilâs Evangelion and the Law of Chaosâ is a compilation of all published lyrics written for KING SATAN between 2015 and 2024 by its bandleader, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, Seth Aleisterde King Satan. This opus is acompanied by selected lyrics and related interview excerpts from his longest-running band, Saturnian Mist (est.2006), to offer a holistic outlook on the artistâs unorthodox and trickster-like vision of Satanism, Ocultism, Mysticism and Spiritual Anarchy.
