Hailing from Switzerland, SAMAEL is a trailblazing force in the metal scene, known for their ability to evolve and push boundaries. Emerging in the late '80s, the band carved their place in history by blending black metal roots with industrial and atmospheric elements, creating a sound that is both brutal and mesmerizing.

With their third album, Ceremony of Opposites (originally issued in 1994), SAMAEL achieved cult status. This iconic record merges haunting atmospheres, powerful riffs, and ritualistic lyrics into a masterpiece that redefined the genre. Tracks like “Baphomet's Throne” and “Celebration of the Fourth” showcase their ability to balance darkness and melody, cementing their legacy as innovators in extreme metal.
