Track ten shares its title with SATØRI’s previous Cold Spring album, “Pillars Of Salt”, released in 2025.
SATØRI described the album’s themes directly:
“They think it. Sometimes you think it. A black oppression that takes over; consuming your very soul. The pointlessness of existence. Your single-minded fight against a world and what seems to be an entire population who invalidate everything you believe or stand for, create a climate in which you struggle to survive and destroy the opportunities for you to ever fulfil your potential. Remember: your life is worth nothing.”

About SATØRI
SATØRI formed in Margate, Kent, in 1984, when Dave Kirby and Robert Maycock began recording as Psychopath, adopting the name Satori in 1987, the same year Cold Spring-affiliated label Broken Flag released the project’s self-titled cassette. Further tapes followed on Mindscan Tapes through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, including “Behold The Past”, “Power Of The Gun” and the “Techno Primitive” release credited to Satori Soundsystem. Maycock left in late 1993, Justin Mitchell joined in 1994, and the band disbanded in 1996.
Mitchell revived Satori in 2006 with Neil Chaney, and the pair toured Japan alongside Sutcliffe Jugend in April 2007. Cold Spring picked up the project in 2008, releasing the album “Contemptus Mundi” and the CD edition of “Kanashibari” (its LP version had appeared in Japan on Dogma Chase earlier that year), alongside a split release with Merzbow and Sutcliffe Jügend and another with Nadja and Atavist.
Dave Kirby, the sole constant member since 1987, resumed the project alone in 2014 and later began spelling the name SATØRI. Cold Spring has released two SATØRI albums under that spelling before the new record: “The Woods” in 2023 and “Pillars Of Salt” in 2025, making “Your Life Is Worth Nothing” the label’s third SATØRI album since Kirby’s solo return. The launch show for the new record takes place on 3 October 2026 at The Globe in Glossop, alongside album launches from Colossloth and a T.A.G.C. set from Adi Newton.
