SATAN’S FALL are not the first band from Helsinki to set out on a triumphal march around half the (metal) globe. For many years, the Finnish capital on the southern tip of the country has been considered a melting pot for talented bands and musicians with the stamina to survive even the hardest of times. After the release of their debut album, ‘Final Day’, in December of 2020, the pandemic, of course, made all tour plans redundant. However, SATAN’S FALL, the five-piece surrounding vocalist Miika Kokko, guitarist Tomi Mäenpää and bass player Joni Petander, hasn’t lost its idealism, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite. Following a line-up change that saw Ville Koskinen join on as new lead guitarist and Arttu Hankosaari take the drummer’s seat, the Nordic quintet sounds more impressive than ever before! ‘Destination Destruction’ is performed with speed and virtuosity and is infused with catchy melodies and brilliant production. An even stronger album than the first, ‘Destination Destruction’ features eight powerful metal songs and two bonus cover tracks. The album will be available from Steamhammer/SPV on November 3rd, 2023 on CD, LP and for digital download, and the singles “Lead The Way” and “Afterglow”, along with videos, will be released in advance. In other words: happy days are here again for all fans of timeless classic metal! |
