Satarial is a Russian metal band. According to some sources, Satarial are one of the icons of the Russian black metal scene.^[1]

History[edit]

The band was founded in 1989 by Andrey „Lord Seth” Shmelev.^[2]^[3] It was then called " A.M.S.G. " (Ad Maiorum Satan Glorium ) and in 1993 changed its name to Satarial.^[1]

Its music videos and concerts often feature references to Slavic themes such as pagan rituals, which has earned it criticism from the Christian establishment. The group has been highly critical of the Russian government led by Vladimir Putin, particularly after its invasion of Crimea in 2014, and has directly called the government fascist. Due to this the band has received a number of fines and eventually, a ban on performing in Russia. Coupled with a number of death threats the members received, in September 2021 the band has emigrated to Poland, where it is residing and performing in the Lower Silesian region.^[1]
