Samael “Above”

Sounds like: Satyricon, Moonspell

Samael is an Industrial Black Metal band from Switzerland which formed in 1987. Above is Samael’s newest album & their 9th to date.
Simply put, this album is badass. Above is one of the best albums I have ever reviewed for KAMP. The album combines the brutality of Black Metal with the harshness of Industrial Metal to create something simply awesome. Samael has been around for awhile and their experience and skill shows in that nearly every song on the album is malevolently addicting. This album is amazing and I would definitely suggest giving it a spin if you like Black or Industrial Metal at all.

Recommended Tracks:
2. “Virtual War”- Brutal.
4. “Earth Country”
5. “Illumination”
10. “On The Top Of It All”- More melodic.
11. “Black Hole (Verso Mix)”- More industrial.
