SATANIC PLANET Unleashes 'Dead Deities': A Sonic Battle Cry Against Tyranny
In a world drowning in the fetid waters of autocracy and Christian nationalism, SATANIC PLANET emerges from the shadows with their upcoming album, 'Dead Deities', set to drop on October 30, 2026, via Relapse Records. This isn't just music; it's a war cry—a pitch-black manifesto against the oppressive forces that seek to stifle individual freedoms. The supergroup, featuring icons like Lucien Greaves (The Satanic Temple), Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), and Justin Pearson (THE LOCUST), has fully coalesced into a formidable unit, creating a sound that melds aggression with a razor-sharp focus that cuts deep.
The album promises an audacious journey through modern dark music, infused with tolling bells, sinister synths, and thunderous drums that evoke the weight of mountains. The first single, 'Sam Alito's Mom', is a visceral assault aimed squarely at the arch-conservative Supreme Court Justice notorious for his role in dismantling reproductive rights. Greaves and Pearson's vocals intertwine like venomous serpents, delivering a slow, growling barrage of sunless devastation that will haunt your nightmares.
Greaves, ever the firebrand, elaborates on the track's inspiration: "In an effort to preserve reproductive rights in the face of theocratic opposition, we’ve opened three abortion clinics and are gearing up for a fourth. The first clinic is aptly named 'Sam Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic'. We’re not stopping there; our fight continues with legal battles aimed at ensuring our religious freedom to distribute abortion pharmaceuticals across the U.S., no matter the restrictions. This is our struggle, and this song encapsulates that struggle."
'Dead Deities' isn’t merely an album; it's a declaration of war in an era marked by societal regression and the criminalization of dissent. SATANIC PLANET's music embodies both the bite and bark needed to galvanize action against the powers that be. With tracks like 'Church Burning' and 'Cannibal Syndrome', listeners can expect an unapologetic blend of chaos and clarity, where every note fuels the fire of rebellion.
As the world teeters on the brink of despair, SATANIC PLANET stands ready to empower the disenchanted. Their visceral anthems are a call to arms for those who refuse to be silenced. 'Dead Deities' is not just music; it's a movement—a flag-burning, cross-toppling annihilation dedicated to crafting a more just and compassionate world.
