Satanic Surfers are a Swedish punk rock band from Lund, Skåne.

History

Satanic Surfers was formed in August 1989 by vocalist (initially guitarist) Erik Kronvall and drummer Rodrigo Alfaro. After some lineup changes, Frederik Jakobsen and Magnus Blixtberg joined on guitars, while Tomek Sokolowski took on bass duties.

The band did not release their debut album until December 1993. Named Skate To Hell, the record was the first release issued by Bad Taste Records. Ulf Lundall replaced Erik on vocals for 1994's Keep Out! EP on Burning Heart Records. When he in turn left the group, Alfaro became the group's vocalist while keeping drumming duties.

After three more LPs on Burning Heart and several lineup changes, the group returned to Bad Taste for two releases in 2000. After 2002's Unconsciously Confined, the group added bassist Andy Dahlström and drummer Robert Samsonovitz, and issued their final album, 2005's Taste The Poison. They disbanded in early 2007.

After receiving an offer from Amnesia Rockfest in 2014, the band announced that they would reunite for the 2015 summer festival circuit. Including Amnesia Rockfest and Spanish Resurrection Fest, first festival which announced the reunion, the band's Facebook page now lists 12 tour dates between May 8 and August 16.

In September 2017, the band announced on Instagram that they are recording a new album. Back from Hell was duly released in 2018.
