#12. Black Satellite - Downfall
Title: Downfall
Artist: Black Satellite
Album: Aftermath
I first met Black Satellite back in '22 opening for Cold, and was awestruck by their live energy and heavily down-tuned industrial metal sound. It took me back to high school, listening to bands like Static X and Orgy (who, coincidentally, I would see live with Cold the next year), and Larissa Vale was an absolute beast fronting the act. We chatted for a bit, and I ended up buying a shirt with the promise of a new record coming later that year. Well, fast-forward to 2025 and that album is FINALLY out and well worth the wait. Other standout tracks include the title track, as well as "Broken", but it's Downfall, with its frenetic pace, crushing guitars and rage-filled lyrics that really propel the group all the way up to #12 on the Countdown. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for this group, and hoping to see them again live!
Favorite line: "Just suffocate me, go ahead and hate me. Be the downfall of me"
