After turning heads earlier this year with the unexpected collaboration alongside Erja Lyytinen on Black Magick Rock ’N’ Roll, Finnish genre-bending force King Satan have now revealed details of their upcoming album Black Magick Abraxas, set for release on November 6 through Blood Blast Distribution.
The band also unveiled the new single Light of Darkness — a track that, according to mastermind King Aleister Satan, may confuse metal purists and delight everyone else.
“Light of Darkness is industrial metal for people who don’t like industrial metal,” he comments. “Actually, I’m not even sure this song is industrial metal. Probably half our songs aren’t. But that’s not important. What matters is that this track mixes blast beats with disco rhythms.”
And honestly, that description only scratches the surface.
The new single folds together symphonic metal, classical influences, religious hymn-like melodies, danceable industrial grooves, and the band’s signature absurdity into something strangely infectious. It is chaotic, theatrical, and intentionally impossible to neatly categorize — exactly how King Satan seem to prefer it.
“We make music to be listened to, not categorized,” Aleister adds.
That philosophy extends into the visual side of the project as well. The album artwork, created by M.T. Salminen, reflects the band’s twisted blend of black humor, occult aesthetics, and their ongoing “beauty and the beast” thematic contrasts.
Naturally, the accompanying music video embraces the same surreal logic.
“Just like there’s no logic in the fact that Donald Duck wears a swimming suit,” Aleister laughs. “But somehow we still understand it on a deeper, instinctive level that modern society has forgotten. Long live Lucifer!”
Whether you call it industrial metal, death metal disco, or complete madness, Light of Darkness proves once again that King Satan operate entirely on their own wavelength — and that’s precisely what makes them impossible to ignore.
