Latest Press Releases


Biography

Hailing from NYC, Black Satellite, led by indomitable frontwoman Larissa Vale, is creating waves in the rock scene with a sound that’s dark, edgy, and distinctly their own. Fusing industrial and metal influences, Vale’s music transcends conventional boundaries solidifying Black Satellite’s place in the genre. The band continues to break new ground through ceaseless hard work and non-stop touring, showcasing their dedication both on and off stage.

Shortly after launching their first single Valkyrie from their debut album Endless, Black Satellite garnished attention from press outlets such as Billboard, Huffington Post, Revolver, Loudwire, Knotfest, and Alternative Press. Black Satellite was also named one of Alternative Press’ “12 Bands You Need To Know” in a print issue of the magazine.

Black Satellite subsequently released two cover songs paying tribute to Type O Negative, which charted on metal radio.

The band recently concluded writing and recording their sophomore record, Aftermath, mixed by veteran producer Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Breaking Benjamin, Filter) with tracks produced by Kane Churko (Papa Roach, In This Moment). The single Void is the first taste of the brand new album. Knotfest commenting on the track: “the first single offers a glimpse into the bold, stylishly dark sound…a promising prospect.”

In 2021, they released a cover of Rammstein’s “Sonne” to critical acclaim with Revolver Magazine describing the track as “a masterclass in metal covers.” This was followed by the release of their latest single Broken.

Black Satellite has since completed back-to-back tours as direct support for John 5, Fozzy, and Nita Strauss in Fall/Winter 2021/2022, with additional appearances at Metal In The Mountains Fest and Blue Ridge Rock Fest. Black Satellite also toured supporting Cold, Sumo Cyco, and Drowning Pool 2022. The band joined the Double Trouble Live Tour with co-headliners Cradle of Filth and Devil Driver as direct support in March, 2023, continuing with the second leg of the tour in October 2023 directly followed by a massive Fall tour with Wednesday 13. Black Satellite is hitting the road in 2025 with Coal Chamber and touring Europe in the Fall with Cradle of Filth.
