Satan is one of the most important groups that emerged in the early
NWOBHM era. Their unique mixture of heavy and power metal spirit with
thrash riffage brought a handful of unforgettable tunes and
revolutionized heavy music as we know it. Court In The Act was Satan's
debut release and was considered a true milestone at the time of its
release (1983). The songs were melodic, but at the same time very
aggressive. The band’s two guitarists, Russ Tippins and Steve Ramsey,
delivered a truly amazing performance; although their styles were
completely different, they managed to perfectly complement each other’s
playing and introduced a handful of timeless riffs and solos. Their new
album, Life Sentence, which will be released in March/April by
Listenable Records is to coincide with the 30th anniversary of their
first LP, Court In The Act.
