Press release, short:
St Satan is a hard rock band based in Bergen, Norway. The members are a tasty blend of veterans of the hard rock/metal scene (Borknagard, The Batallion, The Swamp Babies, Lost at Last) and prominent members of the jazz/noise/experimental scene (Krøyt, Skomsork, Trio Gud, Jazkamer, Public Enema), belting out groovy hard rock tunes in the vein of Clutch, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jesus Lizard, Kyuss and Ted Nugent. The album "Horns for adornment" features ten hardhitting, dynamic tracks, presented by the band as a unit, recorded with all five members playing at the same time in the same studio. Just like the old jazz classics.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in less than 10 hours (!) on the 6th of February 2010 at Duper Studios by Jørgen Træen and Iver Sandøy.
The band:
Trond "Abs" Absalonsen: Vocals (The Swamp Babies/Slut Macine)
Thomas "Thomaster" Dahl: Guitar (Krøyt, Skomsork, Marion Raven)
Kai K Lie: Bass (The Batallion, Ex-Borknagard)
Tarjei A Heggernes: Guitar (Lost at Last)
Nils A Drønen: Drums (Jazkamer, Der Brief, Trio Gud)

Press release, recording and releasing "Horns For Adornment" in one day:
BIG NEWS: Upcoming St Satan-album to be recorded and released on the same day!
St Satan is a hard rock band from Bergen, Norway, featuring present and former members of Borknagard, The Batallion, Slut Machine, The Swamp Babies, Jazkamer, Krøyt, Lost at Last ++.
There's too many uninteresting metalbands these days, using the same boring recording method: putting instrument on instrument, to the beat of a computerprocessor, making each note perfectly in time, until every bit of balls and guts have been taken out of the music. St Satan wants to capture the raw sound of a band playing together, in a room, at the same time, as simple as that.
The album will be recorded at Duper Studios, by Jørgen "Duperman" Træen. Duperman han worked on the finest albums by bands like Emperor and Enslaved, international hipsters Datarock and several of the biggest selling artists in Norway. He immediately loved the idea, and insisted the album should be recorded directly on tape, old school style.
A lot of bands are whining about losing sales due to illegal filesharing and downloading. Well, if you haven't figured it out yet, if someone wants your album for free, they will find it. By recording "Horns for Adornment" in one day, most of the cost of recording will be covered by the ticket sales at the release party. And it will of course be available for both paid and free download.
Even if the recording is old school, the band loves technology and will be updating their fans during the recording process via their pages on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Qik.
The band:
Trond "Abs" Absalonsen: Vocals (The Swamp Babies/Slut Macine)
Thomas "Thomaster" Dahl: Guitar (Krøyt, Skomsork, Marion Raven)
Kai K Lie: Bass (The Batallion, Ex-Borknagard)
Tarjei A Heggernes: Guitar (Lost at Last)
Nils A Drønen: Drums (Jazkamer, Der Brief, Trio Gud)
