**SatchVai The Sea of Emotion** is out today. [Joe Satriani](https://www.satriani.com/discography/The%5FSea%5FOf%5FEmotion/?ref=unknowndivide.com) and Steve Vai just put their first full collaborative studio album on the table as SatchVai via earMUSIC: 10 songs, about 49 minutes, already streaming with vinyl, CD Digipak and digital live in the [official SatchVai store](https://www.satchvaistore.com/?ref=unknowndivide.com).

## SatchVai The Sea of Emotion: what landed today

The record opens on Mayhem, then Bronco Freight Train, Dancing, The Feeling I Know and Zoot Suit Riot before Old Sins Have Long Shadows and I Wanna Play My Guitar, the arena-sized cut with Glenn Hughes on vocals. It closes on the three-part title suite: The Sea Of Emotion, Pt. 1, Pt. 2, and Pt. 3 / Reflections On A Year And A Half. Official copy traces the partnership back to 1973 Long Island lessons, when a teenage Vai studied with Satriani long before either became a solo titan or anchored G3 tours.

This is the first time the pair has fused that history into a full studio album under the SatchVai name. The window opened around a G3 reunion schedule rather than a forced singles campaign, and producer Eric Caudieux kept the sessions honest while a deep bench of rhythm players rotated through the kit and bass chairs. Satriani and Vai write in different ways, so the back-and-forth became the point: chop a take, add an idea, and shelf anything that did not land for both. Advance cuts of Dancing, I Wanna Play My Guitar and The Sea of Emotion, Pt. 1 already sketched the range: playful, heavy and suite-minded in the same run.

## SatchVai vinyl and formats

The [SatchVai store](https://www.satchvaistore.com/?ref=unknowndivide.com) lists Black 2LP Gatefold, Ltd Ink-Spot 2LP Gatefold, Ltd Transparent Neon Yellow and Turquoise 2LP, CD Digipak, digital and merch, marked out now on release day. Jump from the official [smartlink](https://satchvai.lnk.to/theseaofemotion?ref=unknowndivide.com), stream on [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/album/satchvai-the-sea-of-emotion/6804731236?ref=unknowndivide.com), or start with Mayhem via the [Mayhem link](https://satchvai.lnk.to/Mayhem?ref=unknowndivide.com). Vai's own site still carries the earlier [Mayhem stream and preorder post](https://www.vai.com/stream-mayhem-and-pre-order-the-sea-of-emotion/?ref=unknowndivide.com) from September if you want the first-drop context.

earMUSIC sits on the Apple Music line as a label of Edel Music and Entertainment GmbH. Release day puts the full 10-song set next to the physical variants instead of drip-feeding the cart, so you can hear the opener and pick a colorway in the same pass.

If you are stacking late-year guitar listening that prefers dual-solo fire over soft-focus atmospherics, keep this beside [Royal Blood's Dead Company](https://www.unknowndivide.com/royal-blood-dead-company-release-date-tracklist-vinyl/) and [Cage The Elephant's Dying In Reverse](https://www.unknowndivide.com/cage-the-elephant-new-album-dying-in-reverse-release-date/). For cart energy around the same weekend, the gear lane still has [Guitar Center's Pre-Black Friday deals](https://www.unknowndivide.com/guitar-center-black-friday-2026/) and the heavier shelf in [new metal albums October 2026](https://www.unknowndivide.com/new-metal-albums-october-2026/).

## Why it matters

A Joe Satriani and Steve Vai studio album under one name is the kind of guitar-culture release that does not need a marketing thesis. After decades of solo catalogs and shared G3 stages, the full collaborative record finally sits beside the Mayhem video instead of another tease. Day-and-date streaming plus Black, Ink-Spot and Neon Yellow vinyl in their own shop makes it easy to hear the opener first and decide which format belongs on the shelf.
