After a long wait, the USA-based rising metal visionaries Black Satellite have released their haunting new single "Downfall" on all streaming platforms, accompanied by a striking official video. The song explores the theme of toxic relationships, with vocalist Larissa Vale delivering raspy, roaring vocals that convey emotional suffocation over a nostalgic, melodic groove.
Larissa Vale explains: "'Downfall' casts a light on the complexities of dealing with a really toxic person in your life and all the needless destruction and collateral damage created as a result. It's really about reaching your absolute breaking point where you don't even have the energy to stand up for yourself anymore. It's kind of the sentiment of 'If you're going down, then I guess I am too.' Essentially giving in to the fight because it's completely eaten you alive to the point where there's nothing left."
"Downfall" was recorded and produced by acclaimed producer Kane Churko (In This Moment, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach) at The Hideout Studio in Henderson, NV.
This release comes just as Black Satellite join Marilyn Manson on his highly anticipated One Assassination Under God Tour, which kicked off on 2 May across the U.S.
Hailing from NYC, Black Satellite, led by indomitable frontwoman Larissa Vale, is creating waves in the rock scene with a sound that's dark, edgy, and distinctly their own. Fusing industrial and metal influences, their music transcends conventional boundaries, solidifying their place in the genre. The band continues to break new ground through ceaseless hard work and non-stop touring, showcasing their dedication both on and off stage.
