1) Satan are a heavy metal band originating from Newcastle, England in 1979, known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. The band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash/speed metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980s.
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.

Trial By Fire
Satan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Their fate decided
Many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
They couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
That not a single soul was spared
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn
The men of power
Had nothing to fear
When the finger hits the switch
They're far away from here
Down in their sanctuary
Hidding in their lair
The sorcerers of justice
Will be waiting for them there
Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn
I saw the people running
Through all my dreams
I heard the soldiers crying
Mother Nature screams
I saw destruction falling
From out of the sky
I heard the Wise Man calling... Why?
In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
Many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
They couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
That not a single soul was spared.
Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn
The lyrics of "Trial by Fire" by Satan tell the story of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, which took place in 1945. The opening lines of the song refer to the year of the bombing and the fate that was decided for those who were caught in the attacks. The lyrics then go on to describe how the people were told not to be afraid, but they were not adequately prepared for the devastating effects of the bomb. The chorus of the song emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation, with lyrics like "Too late there's no escape" and "Feel the radiation burn."
The second verse of the song shifts to focus on those who were responsible for the bombings - the "men of power" who were far away from the destruction they caused. The lyrics describe them as "sorcerers of justice" who will be held accountable for their actions. The final section of the song describes the aftermath of the bombings, with scenes of people running, soldiers crying, and nature itself screaming. The "Wise Man" referred to in the lyrics is likely a reference to philosopher Albert Einstein, who signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging him to develop a nuclear weapon.
Overall, "Trial by Fire" is a powerful condemnation of the use of atomic weapons during wartime. It portrays the bombings as a horrific tragedy that left no one untouched, and questions the morality of those who made the decision to use such destructive force.

Legendary song, a big influence in the later Speed Metal worldwide

Eu costumava tocar essa música com uma banda de Heavy Metal que eu tive uns anos atrás essa música dava uma química incrível, a nossa banda era meio mística, não consigo explicar. No final eu fui expulso (no caso eu era o baixista) logo após o vocalista saiu pq começou a curtir Indie ou sla que porra, um dos guitarristas que compunha tudo e era a mente por trás dos riffs também saiu pra fazer música de hippie e hoje em dia a banda se tornou só mais uma dessas bandas de speed metal ultra-genérica. Ouvir essa música me lembra como era bom aquela época que a nossa banda tinha uma identidade e um som incrível, obrigado Satan, por me dar essa nostalgia
