Their line-up has undergone a number of personnel changes and even name changes; for a time the band was called Blind Fury, putting out one album, 1985's Out of Reach, under that moniker before reverting to Satan. In 1988, the group changed its name to Pariah, releasing two albums under that name before folding in the early 90s. In 1998, Pariah released another album. The band's shifting line-up has included members of many other heavy metal bands such as Blitzkrieg, Atomkraft, Avenger, Persian Risk, Cronos and Battleaxe. In 1990, Steve Ramsey (guitar) and Graeme English (bass) together with singer Martin Walkyier of UK thrash metal band Sabbat founded folk metal band Skyclad.
Satan performed a one-off gig at Germany's Wacken Open Air in 2004 and finally reunited in 2011. Since their reunion, the band has performed at several European festivals and released a new album, Life Sentence, in April, 2013 via Listenable Records. In 2014 the band increased their global reach by touring in North and South America.
On 2 October 2015 the band released their fourth studio album, Atom by Atom, while two days earlier the entire album was made available for streaming via Invisible Oranges.
In 2018, the band signed a new multi-album recording contract with Metal Blade Records. Their fifth studio album and first under Metal Blade Records, Cruel Magic is due to be released on 7 September 2018. The first single from Cruel Magic, The Doomsday Clock, was released on 6 July.

Incantations
Satan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So as they ready me for salvation, there'll be spells and incantations to keep me safe from evil
Spells from the book of the dead. Words on the scroll
Written in pharaoh's blood. Sanctified
Incantations for my soul
Now as the sleep of death will rise and at last I close my eyes, Anubis waiting for my soul
Spells from the book of the dead. Words on the scroll
Written in pharaoh's blood. Sanctified
Incantations for my soul
It's in the valley of the kings
It's written in the sands of time
My secrets held within my tomb
A curse on those who break the seal
I felt the icy hand of fear when I sensed the time was near to pass into the next world
So as they readied me for salvation, there were spells and incantations to keep me safe from evil
Spells from the book of the dead. Words on the scroll
Written in pharaoh's blood. Sanctified
Incantations for my soul
Ra deliver me
Ra god of the sun
Ra deliver me
Ra god of the sun
