Heathen Deity - Satan’s Kingdom - CD

"Imposing, righteously commanding, atmospheric and truly memorable,” said Ave Noctum in their 9/10 review of Heathen Deity’s 2021 debut album, an opus that also earned glowing reviews in the likes of Decibel magazine and This is Black Metal.

Due to be unleashed in late November 2024, Satan’s Kingdom picks up where that opus finished, offering an equally intense assault, but introducing an even greater level of musicianship and performance, as well as more sophisticated songwriting.
An hour in length, it is a dynamic work that contains moments of absolutely frenzied black metal bombardment ala early Gorgoroth, as well as more epic, earnest and atmospheric numbers. Clean guitars and vocal parts are used selectively and effectively, with surprisingly rousing choruses surfacing from the visceral songs.

‘Uncompromising’ can often mean generic, but Heathen Deity continue to fly the flag for aggressive and antireligious black metal without ever being derivative. The songwriting shines, with an abundance of genuinely memorable riffs and stirring passages.

For fans of Gorgoroth, Hecate Enthroned, Marduk, Setherial, early Mayhem.
Artwork once again created by our longtime comrade, the talented David Thiérrée.
The band have also made a music video for the delicately-titled song ‘Fucking Worthless’ with the videographer Szum.
