King Satan, a Finnish industrial metal band, drops their second new single “Light of Darkness”
The Finnish industrial metal group, King Satan, has unveiled their latest single ‘Light of Darkness’ as a precursor to their upcoming album release ‘Black Magick Abraxas’ on November 6th, distributed by Blood Blast Distribution. The band’s frontman, King Aleister Satan, describes the song as a unique fusion that defies easy categorization, combining blast beats and disco beats in a way that challenges traditional genre boundaries. Their music is a blend of different influences, such as symphonic metal, classical music, and religious hymns, infused with industrial metal elements that invite listeners to both mosh and dance.
The band’s eclectic approach to music is evident in their music video for ‘Light of Darkness,’ which, like much of their music, veers into unconventional territory. King Satan’s sound has been described as a blend of extreme metal crossover, fusing electronic party music with the occult side of heavy metal and the raw energy of rock ‘n’ roll. The band, led by the enigmatic King Aleister Satan, has carved out a distinct identity within the alternative, industrial, and extreme metal scenes since its inception in Tampere, Finland, in 2015.
Over the years, King Satan has garnered a loyal following through their provocative theatrics, energetic live shows, and mercurial sound that blurs the lines between avant-garde and shock rock. Initially conceived as a solo studio project, the band has evolved into a full lineup that is known for their dynamic stage presence and thematic exploration of dark humor, absurdism, and social provocation. The band’s stage performances are characterized by a compelling vocal interplay between King Aleister Satan and keyboardist-vocalist Hekate “Kate” Boss, creating a unique dialogue between darkness and power that captivates audiences.
King Satan has toured extensively throughout Finland and Europe, performing at renowned festivals such as Tuska Festival and Masters Of Rock, as well as industrial-alternative festivals like Dark Malta and Hellsinki Industrial Festival. Their music, which challenges conventional genre boundaries, has garnered chart success, and their award-winning music videos continue to push the boundaries of kitsch entertainment and mystic arts in the name of the “wicked one.”
