Satanic Planet has announced the release of its new album, Dead Deities, set for October 30 via Relapse Records. The album marks a full studio realization of the band's vision, featuring Lucien Greaves, Luke Henshaw, Dave Lombardo and Justin Pearson. The record channels aggressive, pitch-black themes centered on resistance to autocracy and Christian nationalism, with lyrics directly addressing political figures and systemic injustice. The first single, "Sam Alito’s Mom," references Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito, known for his role in overturning Roe v.

Wade, and is described as an intense vocal duel between Greaves and Pearson. The track aligns with The Satanic Temple's activism, which includes opening abortion clinics and advocating for religious freedom in reproductive rights. Dead Deities features tracks including "Antichrist," "Church Burning," "Headless Man," and "Ouroboros," among others. The album combines heavy drumming, blackened synth, and diabolical noise interludes, creating a sound that blends avant-garde metal with political urgency.

Pre-orders for the album are available through the official link. The release follows years of touring and experimentation from the band's diverse musical roots, including work with Mr. Bungle, The Locust, and Planet B. The project represents a cohesive and focused artistic direction, emphasizing activism through music in a climate of political regression.

The album is positioned as a direct protest against theocracy, apathy, and inequality, with the band calling for a better, kinder world through unflinching sonic confrontation. The full track list and release details are available on the official site. co/satanicplanet
