King Satan kick off the summer by gleefully corrupting a pop institution: Britney Spears' iconic "(You Drive Me) Crazy". The 90s earworm is rebuilt as an explosive industrial party‑metal anthem, stacked with heavy riffs, filthy electronics, and enough rock'n'roll energy to turn nostalgia into a full‑blown moshpit.
Frontman King Aleister Satan comments on the track: "In this band there is more than one person who has very high opinion of early releases of pop icon Britney Spears. There was something really special with pop music in the late 90s and early 2000's for all of us, and '(You Drive Me) Crazy' is one of the songs which encapsulates that era perfectly. The uplifting energy with hint of melancholy, catchy rhythms and amazing melodies which never disappeared from our collective consciousness. And it did translate into industrial metal & King Satan style quite effortlessly, so this is our tribute to a piece of pop culture which programmed our subconscious to understand that a great song is a great song, regardless of genre!"
The outfit recently released their new single "Black Magick Rock 'N' Roll", featuring Erja Lyytinen, one of Finland's most esteemed blues/rock guitarists, as well as "Light Of Darkness" — both taken from their upcoming body of work Black Magick Abraxas, scheduled to land on 6 November through Blood Blast Distribution.
