Satan are a heavy metal band originating from Newcastle, England in 1979, known as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. Though gernerally obscure throughout their career, the band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980’s. The group is listed as active, due to their announced reunion with Brian Ross in 2005.

Their line-up has undergone a number of personnel changes and even changes in band name for a time the band was called Blind Fury, putting out one album, 1985’s Out of Reach, under that moniker before reverting back to Satan.

In 1988 the group changed its name again to The Kindred and then yet again to Pariah, releasing two albums under than name before folding in the early 90’s. In 1997 Pariah released another album, The band’s shifting lineup has included members of many other heavy metal bands such as Blitzkrieg, Rough Edge, Pariah, AromKraft, Avenger, Persian Risk, Cronos and Battleaxe. In 1990 Steve Ramsey (guitar) and Graeme English (bass) together with singer Martin Walkyier of UK thrash metal band Sabbat founded folk metal band Skyclad.
