Worriedaboutsatan - Bloodsport (2022)

Bloodsport is the ninth studio album from worriedaboutsatan. Pieced together in a home studio up in Saltaire, Yorkshire, the album marks a departure from the elegiac ambient layers of previous satan albums, as a gnarled, aggressive energy encapsulates the whole record. Full of burnt edges, it is still very much a worriedaboutsatan album, albeit a fairly angry one.

“You can’t live and make music in a bubble, and the way things are at the moment made it particularly difficult to give it a happy soundtrack. There’s a bit of light on the album too, it’s not all doom and gloom, don’t worry. I haven’t made a harsh noise album or anything. Yet”

Jungle breaks mix with piercing guitar lines, huge pulsating bursts of sub-bass wrap themselves around clattering drums, and more understated dread-notes sit next door to shorter passages of electronic arpeggios. It’s a bit of a mess, but a grand one.

The album is being released on 25th March via This Is It Forever, and will come with a remix counterpart later in the year.
