We found the portugese people to be very friendly and inviting and say Thank You to all of them who came to the shows, liked or hated us, to the bands we played with, to everybody helping and serving us and especially to our enthusiastic tour-managers and booking-agents Fabulous Generation. Ana and Neil, we love you!

15.10.08: If you wanna subscribe to the Satanic Army, do it now. Time runs out shortly. Packages are complete and available. So, you'd get your bargain immediately.

3.9.08: Hey folks: There's still time to get caught up with the Satanic Army Phase III. Why don't register now? You can look back on 9 months of the birth of an album. There are 6 downloads of early song-versions and songs that will not appear on the album. You will see videos of the band in the recording-studio, both playing and kidding. You can read a studio blog and hear unmastered song-versions besides of two songs just like they will appear on the album. NOW!
What you'll get in the end is the final album, all the crap we did in the meantime and provided for download (and more) on a CDR with cover. Satanic Army only buttons and this is just 20 Euros.

20.8.08: Now it's for sure: The new album "Surrounded By Ghosts" will be out on 14th November on Fading Ways Records.
We're proud to be part of this cool and real independent collective led by good friend Neil Leyton.

The recordings are now in the mastering-process.

14.5.08: Back from recording the album. Next is to work out the cover and book the tour to promote the record. This will be a difficult task as it nearly not possible to get any shows in Germany as an unknown band. At least if you're not able to have 4 persons 24 hours a day to phone or mail around. We're trying our best. If anyone can help here in anyway .. we'd be glad for anything.

2.5.08: We're off to record the new album next week. There'll be 15 new songs, some of them to be heard on our last live-shows, some of them pre-heard in rough live- or rehearsal-versions at the Satanic Army website, most of them absolutely new.

New album is in the can. It will be out on 25th May 2007, called "Whole Lotta Nothin'".
It took us two and a half day to record and one single day to mix that shit down. We promise a piece of pure and vibrating, stripped to flesh and bone, punk music, that will touch you in it's bareness and fragility, musically as lyrically. Lets see if you're able to divide the humor in it from the pain.
Musically there'll be quite a few new hints that will astonish you.
There'll be a Satanic Army again. It starts on 10th March. Stay tune to get some new thrilling extras with your record!!!
