Satanic Planet have released “Church Burning,” the latest single from their upcoming album, Dead Deities, due October 30 via Relapse Records.
The band features The Satanic Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves alongside Luke Henshaw, Dave Lombardo and Justin Pearson. Dead Deities follows Satanic Planet’s 2021 self-titled debut and was created with all four members working together in the studio.
According to Greaves, “Church Burning” was inspired by a 2022 incident in which a man wearing a shirt with “GOD” printed across the chest set fire to The Satanic Temple’s headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts.
Greaves commented: “This is a song about the hypocrisy of religious violence and how our opposition destroy their own ethical credibility every time they have attacked us with arson, bombs, and violent assaults. We will always rebuild. It is their own church they burn.”
“Church Burning” follows the previously released “Sam Alito’s Mom” and serves as another preview of the 11-track Dead Deities.
