Black Satellite Covers Rammstein's "Sonne"
On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, the Industrial duo Black Satellite released their latest track, a crushing cover of the Rammstein classic "Sonne". Speaking on the release, Black Satellite singer Larissa Vale shares:
“We really wanted to challenge ourselves with Sonne, especially vocally. Before doing the song I hadn’t spoken a word of German. It was extremely important to make sure my personality and emotion came through even while singing in a foreign language. I grew up hearing my parents speak Ukrainian at home and am fairly decent at learning languages which definitely helped a lot. Despite these challenges, we wanted to make sure the song still felt authentic to us and our style as a band.”
What The Press Are Saying:
“...The endpoint one might arrive at after listening to all of Muse’s catalog and deciding they just weren’t epic enough. Syrupy vocal hooks abound, drizzled over whole mountain ranges of studio-shined guitar tapestries.” - Billboard
“Holding into their own niche, Black Satellite has this strength in their music that stirs up feelings of hope even in the most of haunting places." - Huffington Post
“Frontwoman Larissa Vale offers an aggressively elegant vocal range that pairs perfectly over Kyle Hawken's melodic guitar riffs and instrumental work.” - Alternative Press
“...offers a glimpse into the bold, stylishly dark sound that has made the duo of Larissa Vale and Kyle Hawken such a promising prospect.” - Knotfest.com
“There’s something both dark and otherworldly about rock duo Black Satellite.” - Broadway World
"...a rock band beyond definition." - idobi Radio
Black Satellite is a rock duo from New York City comprised of Larissa Vale and Kyle Hawken. Bold in equal measures of aesthetic and musical expression, Black Satellite is the culmination of a deep-rooted partnership contributing to their unified writing style. Since launching their first single "Valkyrie" from their full-length album Endless, the band has charted on rock radio with their fresh takes of Type O Negative's "I Don't Wanna Be Me" and "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend". The duo has since been featured in the likes of Billboard, Huffington Post, Alternative Press, Knotfest.com, and Hot Topic's Snapchat Takeover.
Black Satellite's sophomore album "Aftermath" was mixed by veteran producer Ben Grosse (Filter, Breaking Benjamin, Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Ted Jensen and is due for release later this year.
