Satelles

After three years of touring across Europe, setting fundraisers for social awareness and sharing the stage with the likes of Touche Amore, While She Sleeps or even Enter Shikari, Budapest’s very own melodic hardcore/metalcore band Satelles revisits their roots on Arcadia, their new EP. The band identified by their Eastern-European spleen secures now their own vision about the Arcadian trope, mankind’s distinction between a welcoming utopia worth to be built and a chaotic, barren ground driven by anger itself. The release that also touches the topics of societal dynamics and autocratic narrations across Eastern-Europe has been mixed by Andreas Magnusson (Twelve Tribes, Despised Icon) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan). Sharing the same line-up in the past eight years, the band constantly improved their sound inspired by ‘00s melodic hardcore of Sinking Ships or Verse along with the transitional phase of metalcore with the likes of Misery Signals, Poison The Well or Shai Hulud. IDIOTEQ named their second album as "another worthy addition to the legacy of European melodic hardcore", No Echo compared them to Counterparts, and Hungarian premiere underground webzine NuSkull have chosen their latest release as the album of the year in 2021. In the past years they played with the likes of Rise Against, Comeback Kid, Bane, Trial, Endzweck and Renounced too, and they had three European tours where they (re-)visited 12 countries.
