'Earth Infernal' is a product of the times that birthed it, and could only be the work of Satan. Having churned out cutting edge heavy metal throughout the 80s - and reunited in 2011 - their sixth full-length maintains the high standard they long ago set, and it is perhaps their timeliest release. “For two years the world has been preoccupied with politics and pandemics and while we were all looking the other way our planet has continued to get hotter,” says guitarist Russ Tippins. “Our Earth is now infernally hot. Almost irreversibly so. We are on a one way trip to Hell and dragging our children and their children along with us. Yes, Satan has something to say about global warming.”

Following up 2018’s stunning 'Cruel Magic' is no mean feat, a record that Tippins views as a “game changer” for Satan. “It feels like we jumped up a level or two. As if everything wed worked towards since the reunion had suddenly clicked into place. The bands profile really blew up and the media reviews were sensational. In commercial terms we were high on every metal chart and even broke into the German national charts. We were kind of taken aback at the sudden success.”

Describing the record succinctly as “Brutal, up tempo, loud guitars,” it is classic Satan but sounds fresh and new, the band experimenting a little. “Steve (Ramsey, guitar) and I had been talking for a while about playing some of our dual leads in unison rather than in harmony - which is our normal method. And sure enough, the trusted twin harmonies are still in abundance on this record, but two of the songs have us playing lead in unison ie. the exact same notes as each other, like Rossington & Collinssolo in “Freebird”. Hardly any bands do that anymore but its really added a different vibe to our soundscape, and we cant figure out why weve never done it until now.
