I keep learning about NWOBHM bands that are still plugging away. This time it’s Satan, who got their start in 1979 and went by a few different names over the years, including Blind Fury, The Kindred, and Pariah. I enjoy they named their band after a movie with Rutger Hauer playing a blind sword fighter badass. And I feel like they probably didn’t blow up in the US because of their name. Which is a shame, these guys wail.

Anyway, they have a new album, Life Sentence, and it has the fast drums, guitarmonies, and kickass vocals you’ve come to expect from NWOBHM.

Here’s the lead track, Time To Die. The guitar work on the intro is terrific. Terrific.
