Business is damn sure picking up for Richmond, Virginia hesher riff-kings SATAN’S SATYRS. They’re gearing up for a North American tour with fellow Cavaliers WINDHAND that’ll take up most of October and November, and their sludgy, sleazy new album The Lucky Ones will see release October 19, courtesy of Bad Omen Records and RidingEasy. To whet your appetite and catch a little contact high before the whole slab drops, you can check out the second advance track from The Lucky Ones, the T.REX-in-a-Trans Am stomper “She Beast,” now streaming via YouTube.
Recorded at the studio of Windhand guitarist Garrett Morris, The Lucky Ones marks the debut of new guitarist Nate Towle, who joins bassist/vocalist Clayton Burgess (who splits his time with British doom legends ELECTRIC WIZARD), drummer Stephen Fairfield, and guitarist Jarrett Nettnin and increases the Satyrs’ capacity for destruction exponentially. Vibrant, brash, belligerent, and loud, The Lucky Ones burrows deep into that sweet spot between garage and glam, between boogie, Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, and NWOBHM. “I just wanted to capture weirdness,” says Burgess; I do believe he and his band of merry men have nailed it.
