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. 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.

As is always the case the band tracked the record at First Avenue in Newcastle, with Dave Curle engineering and mixing. In a time of over-polished, digitally perfected metal records, Satan take a different path, embracing the mistakes made during tracking. “The fluffed note, the missed beat on a drum roll, the power chord that doesn’t get struck fully. It all adds up to something that sounds engaging. Real. It seems that anyone can achieve perfection now but, precisely for that reason, perfection really doesn’t mean anything anymore.”
