Metal Blade signen das griechische Satanic Black/Thrash-Zerstörungskommando SATAN'S WRATH!2011 von Multiinstrumentalist Tas Danazoglou (vocals, drums & bass) & Stamos K (guitars) gegründet, frönen SATAN'S WRATH einem Stil, der zurück in die Zeiten reicht, als Death, Black und Thrash Metal noch ein- und dasselbe waren und es einzig um Leder, Nieten und Patronen ging.
Das Debütalbum der Band namens Galloping Blasphemy besteht aus neun unheilvollen Songs, erscheint in Nordamerika am 25. September und am 21./24. September in Europa. Updates und neue Musik werden auf metalblade.com veröffentlicht, sobald sie bereit stehen.
Tas Danazoglou über den Deal mit Metal Blade: "I bought 'Show No Mercy' by Slayer when it was first released and have dreamt of the day when my own unholy necro-noise would be unleashed upon the earth via the same channels. Literally, this is my nightmare come true".
Brian Slagel von Metal Blade Records, die dieses Jahr ihren 30. Geburtstag feiern, fügt hinzu: "When I first heard Satan's Wrath it transported me back three decades to the early days of the label when I loved bands like Slayer (who released their first 3 titles between 1983 & 1985 on Metal Blade) and Possessed (whose first commercial release was the track "Swing of the Axe" which opened the Metal Blade compilation 'Metal Massacre XI' in 1985). What will always impress me about the heavy metal genre is its ability to borrow from the past and boldly wear its influences on its sleeve, while still sounding fresh and relevant to the time it was created. Satan's Wrath are one of those bands, and will be right at home alongside the other acts on the Metal Blade roster - past, present and future".
