The Satellite Circle – Remedy

rock No Comments »


Remedy is an uptempo number, it was the obvious choice for a second track of the album. TSC didn´t overcomplicate things, they settled for a fat driving groove from the first second of the track!

Full stoner blast from the very start, great vocals and a sick jam rock solo section.   This can well be what you get if you throw Paranoid era Sabbath, early Accept and Kilminster-Clarke-Taylor into a food mixer and turn it up all the way to ten.

Max volume on the cassette deck and hit the freeway in your Volvo PV 544!

The Satellite Circle – You Were Never the King

rock No Comments »

You Were Never the King was the opening track of the album. It starts out with a unison groove that shifts into full cosmic fuzz gear as the riffage starts for real. During the verses the band throttles back, delivering a spacey soundscape that makes a perfect platform for the haunting vocal performance.

The weird guitar sounds were made with a 1980 Gibson Firebrand 335 S, a 70s Traynor amp, a Marshall 4×12, Sovtek Big Muff fuzz, Electro Harmonix Zipper Envelope Follower and some unknown Italian Fuzz with sliders instead of regular knobs. The bass was an old Fender P through some seriously glowing vintage Ampeg tubes and a distorting 8×10 cabinet. The drums were a well beaten small Pearl kit, played by the most heavy handed drummer ever produced by northern Scandinavia.

A new section is added – click here for a number of pics taken at The Satellite Circle´s gig at Droskan, Umeå, Sweden sometime in the doomy summer of 2006 (was it the 16th of August? If so, a cool coincidence happened). More images to come later – there are loads of material hidden somewhere: pics of TSC members doing what they like best – gigging, kicking back in the rehersal space/home, wrenching the 544:s and so on.

And the band played on…

Yeah, here it is – enjoy. More stuff will be added over time. This is probably the sixth or so incarnation of the band´s official site since its launch back in 1999. The old site has been down for a short while due to the stupidness of the webmaster. However, a trip to see the mighty evil classic metal band Heaven and Helll made him realize what´s important in life – SLOW HEAVY HARD ROCK MUSIC. So here they are again, The Most Doomed Out & Massive Sounding Rock Trio Ever to Come Out of the Dark Woods of Northern Sweden: THE SATELLITE CIRCLE!
