Mike Bax at Pure Grain Audio caught up with Steel Panther's Satchel and Stix Zadinia at Heavy Montreal 2019 on July 27th. Check out the interview below and find out why the band's new album, Heavy Metal Rules, "will blow your dick up into your body."

Satchel: "In this day and age there’s a lot of fucking shit going on for people all of the time. When we were fucking younger, and heavy metal was really and truly the dominant force in music; you know; Van Halen One; Ozzy’s records; all that shit. All of those records back then, like 1984 by Van Halen, how many songs were on that?"

Stix: "Eight songs, man."

Satchel: "There was eight fucking songs on that record. I don’t know about you, but when I get records that have fifteen or sixteen songs, it’s like, ok, it’s really hard to digest all of that in one sitting. So we were like, let’s give people TWO records in the next five years that have nine songs, rather than one album that has sixteen or seventeen songs on it."

Stix: "Inevitably, out of the sixteen songs that are going to be on that record, you’re going to have shit that is not high, A-caliber shit. It was important for us from song one through to the last song, to have every song feel like it could be a single for us. It’s important for us to put the best shit out there instead of just going 'Well, let’s just fill some time because we need a bonus track for Japan.' We didn’t do that."

Satchel: "Music is subjective too. So there’s going to be people that hate all the tracks, but that way they can listen to it, and the pain is over pretty quick as well."

Stix: "Yeah. We’re gentle that way."

 

Steel Panther recently released a video for the new song, "Always Gonna Be A Ho", featured on their upcoming  fifth studio album, Heavy Metal Rules, out on September 27.

The new clip is a companion video to previously released “All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)”. The first video depicts vocalist Michael Starr’s journey to the wedding chapel alongside bandmates guitarist Satchel, bassist Lexxi Foxx and drummer Stix Zadinia. That video ends with Starr’s bride to be running off with bandmate Satchel. The new video for “Always Gonna Be A Ho” goes deeper into the relationship between the bride (played by Syd Wilder) and the band. Frankie Nasso returns as the director of touching video showcasing Starr’s heartbreak at losing his bride and the end shows what happens to cause the love to go south. Both videos can be found below.

The new album is available for pre-order in various bundle configuration here.

“Heavy Metal Rules is the ultimate party album. Anthem after anthem and hook after hook, the songs will provide the soundtrack to your new bitchin’ heavy metal life. The first single, 'All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)', is the ultimate song about self-love and having a positive personal self-image. It is the kind of song you put on to get yourself in the mood whether you’re getting ready to have sex with yourself or 17 girls in a row,” explains Steel Panther.  

From the opening track “Zebraman” (which is audio taken from the classic film Heavy Metal Parking Lot) to the emotional album closer “I Ain’t Buying What You’re Selling,” Steel Panther have created 36 minutes of audio eargasms. Songs like “Let’s Get High Tonight,” “Fuck Everybody” and “Gods Of Pussy” are destined to become natural additions to the band’s setlist. “I’m Not Your Bitch” is an anthem for all acknowledged genders and sexual orientations worldwide. The video for the first single “All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)” was shot in Las Vegas and features cameos from numerous celebrities from music, comedy, YouTube and more.
