Bobby Gustafson unleashes "Satan's Taint"

Bobby ("Overkill Still Owes Me Money") Gustafson's band "Satan's Taint" will release a new album via MegaForce Records this summer.

...I met Bobby once a long time ago and he seemed like a cool dude, so I'd like to hear this... but geez, seriously... "Satan's Taint?" Worst band name ever!

Also, did anybody hear the Satan's Taint debut mentioned in this press release? I didn't even know it existed.

SATANS TAINT, the band featuring former OVERKILL guitarist Bobby Gustafson, will release its new album, "Destruction Ritual", this summer via Megaforce Records.

In addition to Gustafson's signature sound and razor-sharp riffs, "Destruction Ritual" features various friends and musicians with whom Gustafson has worked and whose work he has admired. The new release includes contributions from longtime drummer Jim McCourt and singers Dan Ortega and Paolo Velazquez.

"Destruction Ritual" was recorded at Powerstation Studios, with Gustafson taking on all guitar and bass duties.

"I am just looking to concentrate on writing the best music possible," he says. "Looking to bring back some old-school thrash with some new twists. Good songs always rise to the top."


"I am very excited to be working with Bobby again after all of these years," says Megaforce's Missi Callazzo. "His early work has been the benchmark for all thrash artists to follow. He continues to innovate with his newest album and I am glad to be a part of getting it to the fans."

Themes of religion, war, Nordic culture, history and revenge combined with roughly hewn thrash metal provide the solid foundation upon which Gustafson built SATANS TAINT. Named with tongue implanted firmly in cheek, Gustafson challenges the establishment and those who take themselves way too seriously with the project.

SATANS TAINT was formed in 2014 in South Florida by Gustafson, who was also a featured player and performer with CYCLE SLUTS FROM HELL and SKREW.

SATANS TAINT's debut, "Axe To The Head Of My Enemies", was released independently in 2017.

Ugh. That name is just awful. Who came up with that? A 14-year old Blabbermouth troll?

Not exactly the sort of thing you want to leave laying around on the coffee table when Mom comes to visit, is it?

"Honey, have you seen my Satan's Taint cd? I think I left it in your car with my copy of Goblin Cock when we were coming home from Sunday services."

They forgot to tell the singer it's sleeveless day.

I always thought the same about Demon Dog Sperm

Great guitarist. Horrible band name!

Ian Faith: You should have seen what they wanted to call themselves.

I heard one track off the debut a while back (it was on YouTube, I think they took it down 'cause I can't find it) and it was boring.
