The industrial metal disco—a fusion of industrial dance beats and metal—that fans have been waiting for has arrived. King Satan, who have been dropping singles throughout the year, have now released their album Black Magick Abraxas, featuring the track “Ride the Lion” as a highlight.
“The video is highly symbolic and intensely surreal—a series of visions woven together through magical realism and dream logic. If there’s any video where the influence of filmmakers like David Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Darren Aronofsky is most strongly felt, this is it,” says King Aleister Satan.
The album also features a number of guests from King Satan’s extended, loose-knit family: Erja Lyytinen makes an appearance on “Black Magick Rock ‘N’ Roll,” while Saku Solin—known for his work with Turmion Kätilöt and Fear of Domination—features on “Abraxas Rising.” In addition to these tracks, the singles “Fire in the Hole” and “Light of Darkness” have also been released from the album. “For us, Black Magick Abraxas is, in many ways, a moment where the ‘circle closes’—while simultaneously marking a new beginning. The same applies to this music video for ‘Ride the Lion,’ which is the final video from the album. It seems that even the world outside our own circle of supporters is gradually beginning to grasp what we’ve actually been doing for the past ten years. Mind you, we haven’t exactly made it easy for people to understand us—always with our middle fingers raised in every direction, hah!” King Aleister Satan says with a smile, and continues:
“But perhaps that’s precisely why it all makes sense in the end. Boundaries are meant to be broken, and the energy inherent in music is, after all, far greater than the sum of its parts. It is magic at its finest, and surrendering to it can shift one’s level of consciousness.”
He notes that the new album is part of the band’s musical manifesto of ‘spiritual anarchy’—a realm where there is no room for compromises or empty rhetoric. “We will never fit into any pre-existing mold; we have always been a paradox that forces both the listener—and us, too—to confront ourselves. We have never held any rules, written or unwritten, as sacred. Industrial metal for those who don’t like industrial metal. Philosophical lyrics and occultism for those who might not even be interested in such themes otherwise—and for those who *are*, we offer an even greater challenge. Serious mockery, and mockery of seriousness itself. A dance floor, rock ’n’ roll, mosh pits, hedonism, and a surrender to chaos. Everything that the old devil is said to have tempted people into doing—things that ‘good people’ deem ‘evil’ simply because they themselves lack spiritual freedom. Hail Satan! Hail Abraxas! Enjoy.”
