Black Satellite Share Cover Of Depeche Mode's 'Never Let Me Down Again'

09-29-2026

Black Satellite have shared a music video for their cover of the Depeche Mode classic "Never Let Me Down Again", which was directed by Jim Louvau (Jerry Cantrell, Kittie, Kerry King)

"I've always loved the anthemic nature of the original song. With this version, I wanted to hold onto what makes the song so iconic while giving it a completely new energy," says Black Satellite's Larissa Vale of the band's searing interpretation of the classic.

"I was fortunate to work again with [producer] Kane Churko on this track," adds the singer, songwriter, and frontwoman of the NYC-based group, "and couldn't be more thrilled with what we created."

SRO sent over these details: The song was just released (September 25) ahead of the band's U.S. tour with Cradle of Filth launching tonight, September 29th.

Black Satellite-Larissa Vale (lead vocals), Eric Deering (guitar), Mark Alexander (bass), and Rom Gov (drums)-artfully fuse industrial and metal influences to create a sound that's dark, edgy, and distinctly their own. "Never Let Me Down Again" marks their first music to be released since their second album, AFTERMATH, that came out September 5, 2025.

Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Breaking Benjamin, Filter) mixed the bulk of AFTERMATH with Kane Churko (Papa Roach, In This Moment) producing and mixing/mastering the album's three singles. Femmemetalwebzine.net described the album as, "Fusing industrial and metal influences, their music transcends conventional boundaries solidifying their place in the genre."

BLACK SATELLITE continue to build their reputation as an electrifying live act having toured with Marilyn Manson, John 5, Nita Strauss, Drowning Pool, Wednesday 13, Cradle of Filth, and Devil Driver. They've also made appearances at Metal In The Mountains Fest and Blue Ridge Rock Fest. Below are the band's dates with Cradle of Filth on the "Majestic In Death II" tour along with Moonspell and Wormgloom. It kicks off September 29 in San Diego, CA and wraps October 28 in Colorado Springs, CO, after which BLACK SATELLITE will open for Coal Chamber on Halloween in Anaheim, CA.
